Summary     : Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) Daemon
Description :
The mobile IPv6 daemon allows nodes to remain

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

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.
