Package(s):mipv6-daemon CVE #(s):CVE-2010-2522 CVE-2010-2523
Created:August 17, 2010 Updated:October 25, 2010
Description: From the Fedora advisory:

This update fixes two security problems in mipv6-daemon: I) CVE-2010-2522: The origin of netlink messages sent to mipv6-daemon was not verified, allowing for local users to spoof netlink messages and thus influence the behaviour of mipv6-daemon. II) CVE-2010-2523: A specially crafted ND_OPT_PREFIX_INFORMATION or ND_OPT_HOME_AGENT_INFO packet could be used to exploit a buffer overflow in mipv6-daemon.
