Detail
| Updated ntp packages fix security vulnerabilities: If no authentication key is defined in the ntp.conf file, a cryptographically-weak default key is generated (CVE-2014-9293). ntp-keygen before 4.2.7p230 uses a non-cryptographic random number generator with a weak seed to generate symmetric keys (CVE-2014-9294). A remote unauthenticated attacker may craft special packets that trigger buffer overflows in the ntpd functions crypto_recv() (when using autokey authentication), ctl_putdata(), and configure(). The resulting buffer overflows may be exploited to allow arbitrary malicious code to be executed with the privilege of the ntpd process (CVE-2014-9295). A section of code in ntpd handling a rare error is missing a return statement, therefore processing did not stop when the error was encountered. This situation may be exploitable by an attacker (CVE-2014-9296). The ntp package has been patched to fix these issues. |

| Title: | USN-2449-1 -- NTP vulnerabilities | ||
| Description: | Neel Mehta discovered that NTP generated weak authentication keys. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to brute force the authentication key and send requests if permitted by IP restrictions. (<a href="http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/CVE-2014-9293">CVE-2014-9293</a>) Stephen Roettger discovered that NTP generated weak MD5 keys. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to brute force the MD5 key and spoof a client or server. (<a href="http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/CVE-2014-9294">CVE-2014-9294</a>) Stephen Roettger discovered that NTP contained buffer overflows in the crypto_recv(), ctl_putdata() and configure() functions. In non-default configurations, a remote attacker could use these issues to cause NTP to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. The default compiler options for affected releases should reduce the vulnerability to a denial of service. In addition, attackers would be isolated by the NTP AppArmor profile. (<a href="http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/CVE-2014-9295">CVE-2014-9295</a>) Stephen Roettger discovered that NTP incorrectly continued processing when handling certain errors.

| Title: | RHSA-2014:2025 -- ntp security update (Important) | ||
| Description: | The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize a computer's time with a referenced time source. Multiple buffer overflow flaws were discovered in ntpd's crypto_recv(), ctl_putdata(), and configure() functions. A remote attacker could use either of these flaws to send a specially crafted request packet that could crash ntpd or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the ntp user. Note: the crypto_recv() flaw requires non-default configurations to be active, while the ctl_putdata() flaw, by default, can only be exploited via local attackers, and the configure() flaw requires additional authentication to exploit. (CVE-2014-9295) It was found that ntpd automatically generated weak keys for its internal use if no ntpdc request authentication key was specified in the ntp.conf configuration file. A remote attacker able to match the configured IP restrictions could guess the generated key, and possibly use it to send ntpdc query or configuration requests. (CVE-2014-9293) It was found that ntp-keygen used a weak method for generating MD5 keys. This could possibly allow an attacker to guess generated MD5 keys that could then be used to spoof an NTP client or server. Note: it is recommended to regenerate any MD5 keys that had explicitly been generated with ntp-keygen; the default installation does not contain such keys). (CVE-2014-9294) All ntp users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which contains backported patches to resolve these issues. After installing the update, the ntpd daemon will restart automatically. | ||
