TITLE

ntp Input validation vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

ntpd in ntp 4.2.8p4 before 4.2.8p11 drops bad packets before updating the "received" timestamp, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (disruption) by sending a packet with a zero-origin timestamp causing the association to reset and setting the contents of the packet as the most recent timestamp. This issue is a result of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-7704. ntp Contains an input validation vulnerability.Service operation interruption (DoS) There is a possibility of being put into a state. NTP is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to cause a denial-of-service condition, denying service to legitimate users. Versions prior to NTP 4.2.8p11 are vulnerable. ntpd is one of the operating system daemons. ========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3707-1 July 09, 2018 ntp vulnerabilities ========================================================================== A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 18.04 LTS - Ubuntu 17.10 - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Summary: Several security issues were fixed in NTP. Software Description: - ntp: Network Time Protocol daemon and utility programs Details: Yihan Lian discovered that NTP incorrectly handled certain malformed mode 6 packets. This issue only affected Ubuntu 17.10 and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2018-7182) Michael Macnair discovered that NTP incorrectly handled certain responses. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-7183) Miroslav Lichvar discovered that NTP incorrectly handled certain zero-origin timestamps. This issue only affected Ubuntu 17.10 and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2018-7184) Miroslav Lichvar discovered that NTP incorrectly handled certain zero-origin timestamps. (CVE-2018-7185) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS: ntp 1:4.2.8p10+dfsg-5ubuntu7.1 Ubuntu 17.10: ntp 1:4.2.8p10+dfsg-5ubuntu3.3 Ubuntu 16.04 LTS: ntp 1:4.2.8p4+dfsg-3ubuntu5.9 Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: ntp 1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-3ubuntu2.14.04.13 In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
