| NASL family | Debian Local Security Checks | | NASL id | DEBIAN_DLA-116.NASL | | description | Several vulnerabilities were discovered in the ntp package, an implementation of the Network Time Protocol.
CVE-2014-9293
ntpd generated a weak key for its internal use, with full administrative privileges. Attackers could use this key to reconfigure ntpd (or to exploit other vulnerabilities).
CVE-2014-9294
The ntp-keygen utility generated weak MD5 keys with insufficient entropy.
CVE-2014-9295
ntpd had several buffer overflows (both on the stack and in the data section), allowing remote authenticated attackers to crash ntpd or potentially execute arbitrary code.
CVE-2014-9296
The general packet processing function in ntpd did not handle an error case correctly.
The default ntpd configuration in Debian restricts access to localhost (and possible the adjacent network in case of IPv6).
Keys explicitly generated by 'ntp-keygen -M' should be regenerated.
For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 4.2.6.p2+dfsg-1+deb6u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your heirloom-mailx packages.

| NASL family | Red Hat Local Security Checks | | NASL id | REDHAT-RHSA-2014-2024.NASL | | description | Updated ntp packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7.
Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.
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)
A missing return statement in the receive() function could potentially allow a remote attacker to bypass NTP's authentication mechanism.
(CVE-2014-9296)
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. | | last seen | 2017-10-29 | | modified | 2017-01-06 | | plugin id | 80160 | | published | 2014-12-22 | | reporter | Tenable | | source | https://www.tenable.com/plugins/index.php?view=single&id=80160 | | title | RHEL 6 / 7 : ntp (RHSA-2014:2024) |

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) provides networked systems with a way to synchronize time for various services and applications. ntpd version 4.2.7 and previous versions allow attackers to overflow several buffers in a way that may allow malicious code to be executed.
ntp-keygen prior to version 4.2.7p230 also uses a non-cryptographic random number generator when generating symmetric keys.
The buffer overflow vulnerabilities in ntpd may allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary malicious code with the privilege level of the ntpd process. The weak default key and non-cryptographic random number generator in ntp-keygen may allow an attacker to gain information regarding the integrity checking and authentication encryption schemes. | | last seen | 2017-10-29 | | modified | 2017-07-06 | | plugin id | 80149 | | published | 2014-12-22 | | reporter | Tenable | | source | https://www.tenable.com/plugins/index.php?view=single&id=80149 | | title | FreeBSD : ntp -- multiple vulnerabilities (4033d826-87dd-11e4-9079-3c970e169bc2) |

| NASL family | Debian Local Security Checks | | NASL id | DEBIAN_DSA-3108.NASL | | description | Several vulnerabilities were discovered in the ntp package, an implementation of the Network Time Protocol.
- CVE-2014-9293 ntpd generated a weak key for its internal use, with full administrative privileges. Attackers could use this key to reconfigure ntpd (or to exploit other vulnerabilities).
- CVE-2014-9294 The ntp-keygen utility generated weak MD5 keys with insufficient entropy.
- CVE-2014-9295 ntpd had several buffer overflows (both on the stack and in the data section), allowing remote authenticated attackers to crash ntpd or potentially execute arbitrary code.
- CVE-2014-9296 The general packet processing function in ntpd did not handle an error case correctly.
The default ntpd configuration in Debian restricts access to localhost (and possible the adjacent network in case of IPv6).
Keys explicitly generated by 'ntp-keygen -M' should be regenerated. | | last seen | 2017-10-29 | | modified | 2015-11-01 | | plugin id | 80208 | | published | 2014-12-23 | | reporter | Tenable | | source | https://www.tenable.com/plugins/index.php?view=single&id=80208 | | title | Debian DSA-3108-1 : ntp - security update |

| NASL family | Scientific Linux Local Security Checks | | NASL id | SL_20141220_NTP_ON_SL6_X.NASL | | description | 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)
A missing return statement in the receive() function could potentially allow a remote attacker to bypass NTP's authentication mechanism.
(CVE-2014-9296)
After installing the update, the ntpd daemon will restart automatically. | | last seen | 2017-10-29 | | modified | 2015-11-01 | | plugin id | 80164 | | published | 2014-12-22 | | reporter | Tenable | | source | https://www.tenable.com/plugins/index.php?view=single&id=80164 | | title | Scientific Linux Security Update : ntp on SL6.x, SL7.x i386/x86_64 |
| NASL family | Ubuntu Local Security Checks | | NASL id | UBUNTU_USN-2449-1.NASL | | 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.
(CVE-2014-9293)
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. (CVE-2014-9294)
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.
(CVE-2014-9295)
Stephen Roettger discovered that NTP incorrectly continued processing when handling certain errors. (CVE-2014-9296).

| NASL family | Misc. | | NASL id | NTP_4_2_8.NASL | | description | The version of the remote NTP server is 4.x prior to 4.2.8p1. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :
- A security weakness exists due to the config_auth() function improperly generating default keys when no authentication key is defined in the ntp.conf file.
Key size is limited to 31 bits and the insecure ntp_random() function is used, resulting in cryptographically-weak keys with insufficient entropy. A remote attacker can exploit this to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via a brute-force attack.
(CVE-2014-9293)
- A security weakness exists due the use of a weak seed to prepare a random number generator used to generate symmetric keys. This allows a remote attacker to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via a brute-force attack. (CVE-2014-9294)
- Multiple stack-based buffer overflow conditions exist due to improper validation of user-supplied input when handling packets in the crypto_recv(), ctl_putdata(), and configure() functions when using autokey authentication. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted packet, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
(CVE-2014-9295)
- A unspecified vulnerability exists due to missing return statements in the receive() function, resulting in continued processing even when an authentication error is encountered. This allows a remote attacker, via specially crafted packets, to trigger unintended association changes. (CVE-2014-9296)
- An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to improper validation of the 'vallen' value in extension fields in ntp_crypto.c. A remote attacker can exploit this to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2014-9750)
- A security bypass vulnerability exists due to a failure to restrict ::1 source addresses on IPv6 interfaces. A remote attacker can exploit this to bypass configured ACLs based on ::1. (CVE-2014-9751)
Note that CVE-2014-9750 and CVE-2014-9751 supersede the discontinued identifiers CVE-2014-9297 and CVE-2014-9298, which were originally cited in the vendor advisory. | | last seen | 2017-10-29 | | modified | 2016-12-07 | | plugin id | 81981 | | published | 2015-03-20 | | reporter | Tenable | | source | https://www.tenable.com/plugins/index.php?view=single&id=81981 | | title | Network Time Protocol Daemon (ntpd) 4.x < 4.2.8p1 Multiple Vulnerabilities |
