Last modified Jun 16, 2026

CVE-2008-4404 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) implementation on IBM zSeries servers does not validate the origin of Neighbor Discovery messages, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (loss of connectivity) or read private network traffic via a spoofed message that modifies the Forward Information Base (FIB), a related issue to CVE-2008-2476.. EPSS estimates a 4.29% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
