High

Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: IBM zSeries servers (affected versions not specified)

Description: The issue concerns the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) implementation, which fails to validate the origin of Neighbor Discovery messages. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in loss of connectivity, or to read private network traffic by sending a spoofed message that modifies the Forward Information Base (FIB).

Recommendations: At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
