Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2980-1
May 17, 2016
libndp vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
– Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
– Ubuntu 15.10
Summary:
libndp could be tricked into accepting an NDP message from outside the
local network.
Software Description:
– libndp: Library for Neighbor Discovery Protocol
Details:
Julien Bernard discovered that libndp incorrectly performed origin checks
when receiving Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) messages. A remote
attacker outside of the local network could use this issue to advertise a
node as a router, causing a denial of service, or possibly to act as a man
in the middle.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:
libndp0 1.4-2ubuntu0.16.04.1
Ubuntu 15.10:
libndp0 1.4-2ubuntu0.15.10.1
After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.
