What is CVE-2010-4670?

A vulnerability exists in the Neighbor Discovery (ND) protocol implementation for Cisco Adaptive Security Appliances (ASA) 5500 series and PIX Security Appliances. This issue can potentially allow attackers to execute a denial of service attack by flooding the target device with an overwhelming number of Router Advertisement (RA) messages from various source addresses. This flood can lead to excessive CPU consumption and potential device hang-ups, disrupting normal network operations. For remediation, it is critical to update to the latest software versions that address this vulnerability.
