Title:
network-manager fails to deprecate addresses
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
network manager does not properly deprecate autoconfigured temporary IP
addresses when ValidLifetime for a prefix is 0 in router advertisements. This
behaviour is non-compliant with RFC 4861 ยง 6.3.4, which reads:
If the prefix is already present in the host's Prefix List as
the result of a previously received advertisement, reset its
invalidation timer to the Valid Lifetime value in the Prefix
Information option. If the new Lifetime value is zero, time-out
the prefix immediately.
The hosts instead continued to use temporary addresses configured
until they reached their timeout, rather than immediately dropping the
addresses. It further appears that it is generating new temporary
addresses when the previous ones expire, but I have not been
monitoring hosts closely enough to tell for sure---I will update on
this when I have further information.
This problem was discovered on Ubuntu Studio 16.04.2; it is not
present on Ubuntu Server (which uses Debian networking scripts).
