RFC4862 5.5.3 e) prevents received Router Advertisements from reducing the Valid Lifetime of configured addresses to less than two hours, thus preventing hosts from reacting to the information provided by a router that has positive knowledge that a prefix has become invalid. This patch makes hosts honor all Valid Lifetime values, as per draft-gont-6man-slaac-renum-06, Section 4.2. This is meant to help mitigate the problem discussed in draft-ietf-v6ops-slaac-renum. Note: Attacks aiming at disabling an advertised prefix via a Valid Lifetime of 0 are not really more harmful than other attacks that can be performed via forged RA messages, such as those aiming at completely disabling a next-hop router via an RA that advertises a Router Lifetime of 0, or performing a Denial of Service (DoS) attack by advertising illegitimate prefixes via forged PIOs. In scenarios where RA-based attacks are of concern, proper mitigations such as RA-Guard [RFC6105] [RFC7113] should be implemented.
