The receive_ra function in rdisc/nm-lndp-rdisc.c in the Neighbor Discovery (ND) protocol implementation in the IPv6 stack in NetworkManager 1.x allows remote attackers to reconfigure a hop-limit setting via a small hop_limit value in a Router Advertisement (RA) message, a similar issue to CVE-2015-2922.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2015-2924 is a NetworkManager 1.x IPv6 issue where a crafted Router Advertisement can lower a host hop-limit setting. Business impact is mainly network reliability and routing behavior degradation, not confirmed code execution. The source bundle provides no CVSS score and no evidence of active exploitation. Likely exposed systems are Linux hosts using NetworkManager 1.x with IPv6 Neighbor Discovery enabled and able to receive Router Advertisement messages from untrusted network segments. Treat this as a medium-priority infrastructure hygiene issue. It can affect network behavior on IPv6-enabled Linux systems, but the provided evidence does not show active exploitation or severe impact such as remote code execution. Mitigation focus: Review your Linux vendor advisory for fixed NetworkManager packages.; Apply supported NetworkManager updates from Gentoo, Fedora, Oracle, or your distribution.; If unsupported, consult vendor guidance before relying on workarounds..
