Buffer overflow in the ndp_msg_opt_dnssl_domain function in libndp allows remote routers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted DNS Search List (DNSSL) in an IPv6 router advertisement.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability that has been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - libndp: buffer overflow flaw in DNS Search List (DNSSL) handling (CVE-2014-3554)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

According to the versions of the libndp package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Buffer overflow in the ndp_msg_opt_dnssl_domain function in libndp allows remote routers to cause a denial     of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted DNS Search List (DNSSL) in an IPv6     router advertisement. (CVE-2014-3554)
