| Package(s): | chrony | CVE #(s): | CVE-2010-0292 CVE-2010-0293 CVE-2010-0294 | ||||||||||||

| Description: | From the Debian alert:
CVE-2010-0292: chronyd replies to all cmdmon packets with NOHOSTACCESS messages even for unauthorized hosts. An attacker can abuse this behaviour to force two chronyd instances to play packet ping-pong by sending such a packet with spoofed source address and port. This results in high CPU and network usage and thus denial of service conditions. CVE-2010-0293: The client logging facility of chronyd doesn't limit memory that is used to store client information. An attacker can cause chronyd to allocate large amounts of memory by sending NTP or cmdmon packets with spoofed source addresses resulting in memory exhaustion. CVE-2010-0294: chronyd lacks of a rate limit control to the syslog facility when logging received packets from unauthorized hosts. This allows an attacker to cause denial of service conditions via filling up the logs and thus disk space by repeatedly sending invalid cmdmon packets. | ||||||||||||||
