Detail

Miroslav Lichvar of Red Hat discovered multiple vulnerabilities in chrony, an alternative NTP client and server:

CVE-2015-1821

Using particular address/subnet pairs when configuring access control would cause an invalid memory write. This could allow attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2015-1822

When allocating memory to save unacknowledged replies to authenticated command requests, a pointer would be left uninitialized, which could trigger an invalid memory write. This could allow attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2015-1853

When peering with other NTP hosts using authenticated symmetric association, the internal state variables would be updated before the MAC of the NTP messages was validated. This could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service by impeding synchronization between NTP peers.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 1.24-3.1+deb7u3.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 1.30-2.

We recommend that you upgrade your chrony packages.

Title: Symmetric-Key feature allows denial of service
Description: The symmetric-key feature in the receive function in ntp_proto.c in ntpd in NTP 3.x and 4.x before 4.2.8p2 performs state-variable updates upon receiving certain invalid packets, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to cause a denial of service (synchronization loss) by spoofing the source IP address of a peer.
