libndp vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Summary:

libndp could be made to crash or run programs if it received specially
crafted network traffic.

Software Description:
- libndp: Library for Neighbor Discovery Protocol

Details:

It was discovered that libndp incorrectly handled certain malformed IPv6
router advertisement packets. A local attacker could possibly use this
issue to cause NetworkManager to crash, resulting in a denial of service,
or the execution of arbitrary code.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

the necessary changes.
