Summary

Monero's IPv6 connection tracking uses individual /128 addresses, allowing the per-IP RPC connection limit to be bypassed by using multiple IPv6 addresses. This undermines the intended connection restrictions for IPv6 clients.

Resolved in v0.18.5.3: https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/10812
