    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
