Detail

NTP 4.2.4 before 4.2.4p5 and 4.2.5 before 4.2.5p150 does not properly check the return value from the OpenSSL EVP_VerifyFinal function, which allows remote attackers to bypass validation of the certificate chain via a malformed SSL/TLS signature for DSA and ECDSA keys, a similar vulnerability to CVE-2008-5077.

Title: DSA-1702-1 ntp -- interpretation conflict
Description: It has been discovered that NTP, an implementation of the Network Time Protocol, does not properly check the result of an OpenSSL function for verifying cryptographic signatures, which may ultimately lead to the acceptance of unauthenticated time information. For the stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 1:4.2.2.p4+dfsg-2etch1. For the unstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 4.2.4p4+dfsg-8. The testing distribution will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your ntp package.

Title: RHSA-2009:0046 -- ntp security update (Moderate)
Description: Updated ntp packages to correct a security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize a computer's time with a referenced time source. A flaw was discovered in the way the ntpd daemon checked the return value of the OpenSSL EVP_VerifyFinal function. On systems using NTPv4 authentication, this could lead to an incorrect verification of cryptographic signatures, allowing time-spoofing attacks. (CVE-2009-0021)

Id Description
51164 OpenSSL EVP_VerifyFinal Function DSA / ECDSA Key Validation Weakness

OpenSSL contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to perform a 'man in the middle' attack. The issue is triggered when several functions within OpenSSL incorrectly check the result of the EVP_VerifyFinal function. It is possible that the flaw may allow a malformed signature to be treated as a good signature instead of an error, resulting in a loss of integrity.
