Detail

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.
