Summary
CVE-1999-0764 is a vulnerability affecting NetBSD, where ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) packets can overwrite static ARP entries. This issue poses a risk for IP address spoofing attacks, allowing an attacker to impersonate another device on the local network and potentially gain unauthorized access to resources. The vulnerability exists due to a failure to properly validate ARP packets, enabling an attacker to manipulate static ARP tables and redirect traffic to their own devices. The impact of this vulnerability is significant in networks where static ARP entries are used extensively, and it underscores the importance of robust ARP security mechanisms.
