You don't understand what a DoS is. The main problem with this attack is not the amount of data that the target receives, but the amount they then try to send out. Some OSs crash, sure, but the target will still find their computer and network unusable if they have router discovery on.
there was a typo and i corrected it.
i do understand what a dos is, none of the skids here do though; they all think it is big DD0S sh3lls, no whammis3s and shit, when it isnt.
the vulnerability exists in the way that the packets from router advertisements are recieved, example: windows (vulnerable versions), just attempt to connect to all of the hosts and shit, for OSX (non vulnerable versions - i dont think any are vuln), as they connect to a few hosts then just ignore the rest.
hurr durr.
