-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] ntp (SSA:2014-044-02) New ntp packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, 14.1, and -current to fix a security issue. Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/ntp-4.2.6p5-i486-5_slack14.1.txz: Rebuilt. All stable versions of NTP remain vulnerable to a remote attack where the "ntpdc -c monlist" command can be used to amplify network traffic as part of a denial of service attack. By default, Slackware is not vulnerable since it includes "noquery" as a default restriction. However, it is vulnerable if this restriction is removed. To help mitigate this flaw, "disable monitor" has been added to the default ntp.conf (which will disable the monlist command even if other queries are allowed), and the default restrictions have been extended to IPv6 as well. All users of the NTP daemon should make sure that their ntp.conf contains "disable monitor" to prevent misuse of the NTP service. The new ntp.conf file will be installed as /etc/ntp.conf.new with a package upgrade, but the changes will need to be merged into any existing ntp.conf file by the admin. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-5211 http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/348126 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Where to find the new packages: +-----------------------------+ Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab (http://osuosl.org) for donating FTP and rsync hosting to the Slackware project! :-) Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://slackware.com for additional mirror sites near you.
