Due to the way the Linux kernel handles the creation of IPv6 temporary addresses a malicious LAN user can remotely disable them altogether which may lead to privacy violations and information disclosure.
A malicious user who can emit random packets as root on your LAN can also corrupt your ARP cache with entries that point to the wrong MAC address. What's your point?
