Description:
 net/ipv6/addrconf.c in the IPv6 stack in the Linux kernel before 4.0 does
 not validate attempted changes to the MTU value, which allows
 context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (packet loss) via
 a value that is (1) smaller than the minimum compliant value or (2) larger
 than the MTU of an interface, as demonstrated by a Router Advertisement
 (RA) message that is not validated by a daemon, a different vulnerability
 than CVE-2015-0272.  NOTE: the scope of CVE-2015-0272 is limited to the
 NetworkManager product.
Ubuntu-Description:

  not supported on the Ubuntu Touch 14.10 and earlier preview kernels
