The ipv6_create_tempaddr function in net/ipv6/addrconf.c in the Linux kernel through 3.8 does not properly handle problems with the generation of IPv6 temporary addresses, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (excessive retries and address-generation outage), and consequently obtain sensitive information, via ICMPv6 Router Advertisement (RA) messages.

CVSS 2.0 Base Score 3.2. CVSS Attack Vector: adjacent_network. CVSS Attack Complexity: high. CVSS Vector: (AV:A/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:P).
