Category:FreeBSD Local Security Checks
Title:FreeBSD Security Advisory (FreeBSD-SA-08:10.nd6.asc)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update to the system; as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-08:10.nd6.asc
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to the system
as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-08:10.nd6.asc

Vulnerability Insight:
IPv6 nodes use the Neighbor Discovery protocol to determine the link-layer
address of other nodes, find routers, and maintain reachability information.
The Neighbor Discovery protocol uses Neighbor Solicitation (ICMPv6 type 135)
to query target nodes for their link-layer addresses.

IPv6 routers may allow on-link IPv6 nodes to create and update the
router's neighbor cache and forwarding information. A malicious IPv6 node
sharing a common router but on a different physical segment from another
node may be able to spoof Neighbor Discovery messages, allowing it to update
router information for the victim node.

Solution:
Upgrade your system to the appropriate stable release
or security branch dated after the correction date.
