Good morning,

The below was previously sent to the distros list. A patch is available 
from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=917255

libndp (libndp.org) provides a library for the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery 
Protocol. Andrew Ayer discovered a buffer overflow flaw in the 
ndp_msg_opt_dnssl_domain() function when handling the DNS Search List 
(DNSSL) in IPv6 router advertisements. A malicious router or 
man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to cause an application 
using libndp to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. 
(CVE-2014-3554)

Please credit Andrew Ayer with the discovery.

Cheers,
