Subject: Re: CVE Request : IPv6 Hop limit lowering via RA messages

sys/netinet6/nd6_rtr.c

    300         if (nd_ra->nd_ra_curhoplimit)
    301                 ndi->chlim = nd_ra->nd_ra_curhoplimit;

The only "OUT" in that function I see are tests for:
  Not accepting RA
  hoplimit on current packet != 255
  not link-local
  No extended ipv6 header


Based on previous testing ( early March 2015), and reading of the
source, I say that FreeBSD is vulnerable.
