Description

According to the version of the libndp package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

 - It was found that libndp did not properly validate and check the origin of Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) messages. An attacker on a non-local network could use this flaw to advertise a node as a router, allowing them to perform man-in-the-middle attacks on a connecting client, or disrupt the network connectivity of that client.(CVE-2016-3698)
