I didn't verify the problem on version 2.06, but I think the same problem may exist in this version.

Versions affected: 2.02, 2.04
Reproduced on: UEFI PXE over IPv6
Tested on: QEMU virtual machine (aarch64) with Linux

During UEFI PXE boot in IPv6 network, if the DHCP server adopts stateful automatic configuration, when the client receives the ICMP6_ROUTER_ADVERTISE message multicast from the server, it will cause the problem of dereference null pointer and cause the grub2 program to crash.
