Solution

No solution given by the vendor.


Workaround

The remote attack is potentially possible in the local network only. It is not possible if param net.ipv6.conf.[NIC].accept_ra disabled. Check this param value with the command cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/default/accept_ra or /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/accept_ra (where eth0 is the name of the networking interface). If you cannot run this or a similar command and parameter accept_ra is not available, then IPV6 is disabled. If IPV6 is not being used, it is possible to disable it completely, and there is instruction on how to do this: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/8709
