Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in libndp (version now known). This affects some unknown processing of the component Route Information Handler. The manipulation of the argument length with an unknown input leads to a buffer overflow vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-120. The product copies an input buffer to an output buffer without verifying that the size of the input buffer is less than the size of the output buffer, leading to a buffer overflow. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

A vulnerability was found in libndp. This flaw allows a local malicious user to cause a buffer overflow in NetworkManager, triggered by sending a malformed IPv6 router advertisement packet. This issue occurred as libndp was not correctly validating the route length information.

The advisory is shared at bugzilla.redhat.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2024-5564. The exploitability is told to be easy. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 212124 (Nutanix AOS : Multiple Vulnerabilities (NXSA-AOS-7.0)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment.
