Base vector

AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions libndp versions prior to 1.6

Description The issue concerns the validation of the origin of Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) messages. This allows remote attackers to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks or cause a denial of service by advertising a node as a router from a non-local network, leading to network connectivity disruption.

Recommendations For libndp versions prior to 1.6, update to version 1.6 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the network to minimize the risk of exploitation.
