ntp: multiple vulnerabilities
| Package(s): | ntp | CVE #(s): | CVE-2015-5194 CVE-2015-5195 CVE-2015-5196 CVE-2015-5219 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Created: | September 9, 2015 | Updated: | November 11, 2016 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description: | From the Mageia advisory:
It was found that ntpd could crash due to an uninitialized variable when
processing malformed logconfig configuration commands, for example,
It was found that ntpd exits with a segmentation fault when a statistics
type that was not enabled during compilation (e.g. timingstats) is
referenced by the statistics or filegen configuration command, for example,
It was found that the :config command can be used to set the pidfile and
driftfile paths without any restrictions. A remote attacker could use
this flaw to overwrite a file on the file system with a file containing
the pid of the ntpd process (immediately) or the current estimated drift
of the system clock (in hourly intervals). For example, It was discovered that sntp would hang in an infinite loop when a crafted NTP packet was received, related to the conversion of the precision value in the packet to double (CVE-2015-5219). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
