Red Hat Security Advisory 2016-1086-01

Red Hat Security Advisory 2016-1086-01
Posted May 17, 2016
Authored by Red Hat | Site access.redhat.com

Red Hat Security Advisory 2016-1086-01 - Libndp is a library 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: It was found that libndp did not properly validate and check the origin of Neighbor Discovery Protocol 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.

3. Description:

Libndp is a library (used by NetworkManager) that provides a wrapper for
the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol. It also provides a tool named ndptool

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 (Viagénie) for reporting this
issue.
