Category:CentOS Local Security Checks
Title:CentOS Update for libndp CESA-2016:1086 centos7
Summary:Check the version of libndp
Description:Summary:
Check the version of libndp

Vulnerability Insight:
Libndp is a library (used by NetworkManager)
that provides a wrapper for the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol. It also
provides a tool named ndptool for sending and receiving NDP messages.

Security Fix(es):

* It was found that libndp did not properly validate and check the origin
of Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) messages. An attacker on a non-local
network could use this flaw to advertise a node as a router, allowing them
to perform man-in-the-middle attacks on a connecting client, or disrupt the
network connectivity of that client. (CVE-2016-3698)

Red Hat would like to thank Julien Bernard (Viagenie) for reporting this
issue.
