Issue date: 2016-05-17

CVE Names: CVE-2016-3698

=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

An update for libndp is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

 

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact

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

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 (Viagénie) for reporting this

issue.

 

4. Solution:

 

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes

described in this advisory, refer to:

 

https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

 

After installing this update, all running applications using libndp (for

example, Network Manager) must be restarted for this update to take effect.

 

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

 

1329366 - CVE-2016-3698 libndp: denial of service due to insufficient validation of source of NDP messages
