CVE-2015-1798: The symmetric-key feature in the receive function in ntp_proto.c in ntpd in NTP required a correct MAC only if the MAC field has a nonzero length, which made it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof packets by omitting the MAC (bsc#924202).

CVE-2015-1799: The symmetric-key feature in the receive function in ntp_proto.c in ntpd in NTP performed state-variable updates upon receiving certain invalid packets, which made it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to cause a denial of service (synchronization loss) by spoofing the source IP address of a peer (bsc#924202).

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The version of the remote NTP server is 3.x or 4.x prior to 4.2.8p7.
It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists due to improper     validation of the origin timestamp field when handling a     Kiss-of-Death (KoD) packet. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this to cause a client to stop     querying its servers, preventing the client from     updating its clock. (CVE-2015-7704)

  - A flaw exists in the receive() function in ntp_proto.c     that allows packets with an origin timestamp of zero to     bypass security checks. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this to spoof arbitrary content.
    (CVE-2015-8138)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists due to improper     handling of a crafted Crypto NAK Packet with a source     address spoofed to match that of an existing associated     peer. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit     this to demobilize a client association. (CVE-2016-1547)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists due to improper     handling of packets spoofed to appear to be from a valid     ntpd server. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can     exploit this to cause NTP to switch from basic     client/server mode to interleaved symmetric mode,     causing the client to reject future legitimate     responses. (CVE-2016-1548)

  - A race condition exists that is triggered during the     handling of a saturation of ephemeral associations. An     authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     defeat NTP's clock selection algorithm and modify a     user's clock. (CVE-2016-1549)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the     message authentication functionality in libntp that is     triggered during the handling of a series of specially     crafted messages. An adjacent attacker can exploit this     to partially recover the message digest key.
    (CVE-2016-1550)

  - A flaw exists due to improper filtering of IPv4 'bogon'     packets received from a network. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this to spoof packets to     appear to come from a specific reference clock.
    (CVE-2016-1551)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists that allows an     authenticated, remote attacker that has knowledge of the     controlkey for ntpq or the requestkey for ntpdc to     create a session with the same IP twice on an     unconfigured directive line, causing ntpd to abort.
    (CVE-2016-2516)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists that allows an     authenticated, remote attacker to manipulate the value     of the trustedkey, controlkey, or requestkey via a     crafted packet, preventing authentication with ntpd     until the daemon has been restarted. (CVE-2016-2517)

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the MATCH_ASSOC()     function that occurs during the creation of peer     associations with hmode greater than 7. An     authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a     specially crafted packet, to cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2016-2518)

  - An overflow condition exists in the ctl_getitem()     function in ntpd due to improper validation of     user-supplied input when reporting return values. An     authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause     ntpd to abort. (CVE-2016-2519)

This update for ntp to 4.2.8p7 fixes the following issues :

  - CVE-2016-1547, bsc#977459: Validate crypto-NAKs, AKA:
    CRYPTO-NAK DoS.

  - CVE-2016-1548, bsc#977461: Interleave-pivot

  - CVE-2016-1549, bsc#977451: Sybil vulnerability:
    ephemeral association attack.

  - CVE-2016-1550, bsc#977464: Improve NTP security against     buffer comparison timing attacks.

  - CVE-2016-1551, bsc#977450: Refclock impersonation     vulnerability

  - CVE-2016-2516, bsc#977452: Duplicate IPs on unconfig     directives will cause an assertion botch in ntpd.

  - CVE-2016-2517, bsc#977455: remote configuration     trustedkey/ requestkey/controlkey values are not     properly validated.

  - CVE-2016-2518, bsc#977457: Crafted addpeer with hmode >     7 causes array wraparound with MATCH_ASSOC.

  - CVE-2016-2519, bsc#977458: ctl_getitem() return value     not always checked.

  - This update also improves the fixes for: CVE-2015-7704,     CVE-2015-7705, CVE-2015-7974

Bugs fixed :

  - Restrict the parser in the startup script to the first     occurrance of 'keys' and 'controlkey' in ntp.conf     (bsc#957226).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Security Fix(es) :

  - It was found that when NTP was configured in broadcast     mode, a remote attacker could broadcast packets with bad     authentication to all clients. The clients, upon     receiving the malformed packets, would break the     association with the broadcast server, causing them to     become out of sync over a longer period of time.
    (CVE-2015-7979)

  - A denial of service flaw was found in the way NTP     handled preemptable client associations. A remote     attacker could send several crypto NAK packets to a     victim client, each with a spoofed source address of an     existing associated peer, preventing that client from     synchronizing its time. (CVE-2016-1547)

  - It was found that an ntpd client could be forced to     change from basic client/server mode to the interleaved     symmetric mode. A remote attacker could use a spoofed     packet that, when processed by an ntpd client, would     cause that client to reject all future legitimate server     responses, effectively disabling time synchronization on     that client. (CVE-2016-1548)

  - A flaw was found in the way NTP's libntp performed     message authentication. An attacker able to observe the     timing of the comparison function used in packet     authentication could potentially use this flaw to     recover the message digest. (CVE-2016-1550)

  - An out-of-bounds access flaw was found in the way ntpd     processed certain packets. An authenticated attacker     could use a crafted packet to create a peer association     with hmode of 7 and larger, which could potentially     (although highly unlikely) cause ntpd to crash.
    (CVE-2016-2518)

The CVE-2016-1548 issue was discovered by Miroslav Lichvar (Red Hat).

  - CVE-2016-1547: CRYPTO-NAK DoS (bsc#977459).

  - CVE-2016-1551: Refclock impersonation vulnerability,     AKA: refclock-peering (bsc#977450).

  - CVE-2016-1550: Improve NTP security against buffer     comparison timing attacks, authdecrypt-timing, AKA:
    authdecrypt-timing (bsc#977464).

  - CVE-2016-1548: Interleave-pivot - MITIGATION ONLY     (bsc#977461).

  - CVE-2016-1549: Sybil vulnerability: ephemeral     association attack, AKA: ntp-sybil - MITIGATION ONLY     (bsc#977451).

The version of NTP installed on the remote AIX host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists due to improper     handling of a crafted Crypto NAK Packet with a source     address spoofed to match that of an existing associated     peer. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit     this to demobilize a client association. (CVE-2016-1547)
