| Category: | Mageia Linux Local Security Checks |
| Title: | Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2016-0185) |
| Summary: | The remote host is missing an update for the 'libndp' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2016-0185 advisory. |
| Description: | Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'libndp' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2016-0185 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Updated libndp package fixes security vulnerability: 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) Affected Software/OS: 'libndp' package(s) on Mageia 5. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 6.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
