 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3837-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Chris Lamb June 19, 2024 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Package : libndp Version : 1.6-1+deb10u1 CVE ID : CVE-2024-5564 Debian Bug : 1072366

 It was discovered that there was a buffer overflow vulnerability in libndp, a library for implementing IPv6's Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) and is used by Network Manager and other networking tools.

 A local, malicious user could have caused a buffer overflow in Network Manager by sending a malformed IPv6 router advertisement packet. This issue existed because libndp was not correctly validating route length information.

 For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 1.6-1+deb10u1.

 We recommend that you upgrade your libndp packages.

 For the detailed security status of libndp please refer to its security tracker page at:
 https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/libndp

 Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the libndp-dbg packages.
