I just came across this article. However, as this quote shows, whoever wrote the article doesn't really understand IPv6: "Thus, a rogue DHCPv6 server on a network, or in an ISP, could emit specially crafted router advertisement messages that wake up these clients, exploit the bug, and possibly hijack or crash vulnerable Systemd-powered Linux machines." Router advertisements are sent via link local addresses, which means only the router on the same network can cause this, as link local addresses are never passed by a router. Also, SLAAC is often used, not DHCPv6 for clients. You won't see any DHCPv6 clients on the local network, unless specifically enabled. The WAN side might be vulnerable, but that would require an ISPs router to be compromised. I doubt most ISPs would be running Linux on their network. They tend to go for high end Cisco gear or equivalent. There are some Cisco models that run on Linux, but they're not high end. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/10/26/systemd_dhcpv6_rce/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
