- CVEs with nessus.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.
