Detail

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. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause ntpd to crash, resulting in a denial of service. 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. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. 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. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (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
