Not Vulnerable:

Multiple Platform IPv6 Address Publication Denial of Service Vulnerabilities

Multiple operating systems are prone to remote denial-of-service vulnerabilities that occur when affected operating systems are acting as IPv6 routers.

Successful exploits allow remote attackers to cause computers to consume excessive CPU resources or to stop responding to advertised routes in a network. This will potentially deny further network services to legitimate users.

Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows Server 2003, and Linux are prone to these issues. Other operating systems may also be affected.

Multiple Platform IPv6 Address Publication Denial of Service Vulnerabilities

The following command can demonstrate these issues:

for /L %k in (0, 1, 9999) DO for /L %i in (0, 1, 9999) DO netsh interface ipv6 add route 2001:db8:%k:%i::/64 "Local Area Connection" publish=yes
