TITLE

NTP.org ntpd contains multiple vulnerabilities

DESCRIPTION

A malicious authenticated peer can create arbitrarily-many ephemeral associations in order to win the clock selection algorithm in ntpd in NTP 4.2.8p4 and earlier and NTPsec 3e160db8dc248a0bcb053b56a80167dc742d2b74 and a5fb34b9cc89b92a8fef2f459004865c93bb7f92 and modify a victim's clock. The NTP.org reference implementation of ntpd contains multiple vulnerabilities. NTP is prone to a remote security vulnerability. Successful exploits will allow attackers to bypass certain security restrictions and perform some unauthorized actions to the application. This may aid in further attacks. Versions prior to NTP 4.2.8p7 and 4.3.x versions prior to 4.3.92 are vulnerable. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 201607-15 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - https://security.gentoo.org/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Severity: Normal Title: NTP: Multiple vulnerabilities Date: July 20, 2016 Bugs: #563774, #572452, #581528, #584954 ID: 201607-15 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Synopsis ======== Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in NTP, the worst of which could lead to Denial of Service.

Edge-case hole reported by Martin Burnicki of Meinberg. And fixes another security issue in ntpq and ntpdc: LOW: Sec 3505: The openhost() function used during command-line hostname processing by ntpq and ntpdc can write beyond its buffer limit, which could allow an attacker to achieve code execution or escalate to higher privileges via a long string as the argument for an IPv4 or IPv6 command-line parameter. NOTE: It is unclear whether there are any common situations in which ntpq or ntpdc is used with a command line from an untrusted source
