Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2015-003
Posted Jan 5, 2015
Authored by Mandriva | Site mandriva.com

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2015-003 - If no authentication key is defined in the ntp.conf file, a cryptographically-weak default key is generated. ntp-keygen before 4.2.7p230 uses a non-cryptographic random number generator with a weak seed to generate symmetric keys. 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. 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. The ntp package has been patched to fix these issues.

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2015:003

_______________________________________________________________________

Package : ntp
Date : January 5, 2015
Affected: Business Server 1.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

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.
