-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2015:140 http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : ntp Date : March 29, 2015 Affected: Business Server 2.0 _______________________________________________________________________ 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). Stephen Roettger of the Google Security Team, Sebastian Krahmer of the SUSE Security Team and Harlan Stenn of Network Time Foundation discovered that the length value in extension fields is not properly validated in several code paths in ntp_crypto.c, which could lead to information leakage or denial of service (CVE-2014-9297). Stephen Roettger of the Google Security Team reported that ACLs based on IPv6 ::1 (localhost) addresses can be bypassed (CVE-2014-9298). The ntp package has been patched to fix these issues. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-9293 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-9294 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-9295 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-9296 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-9297 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-9298 http://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0541.html http://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2015-0063.html _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Business Server 2/X86_64: 8f7d14b95c55bd1de7230cff0c8ea9d7 mbs2/x86_64/ntp-4.2.6p5-16.1.mbs2.x86_64.rpm 09063ab11459b1f935809b37c742ff12 mbs2/x86_64/ntp-client-4.2.6p5-16.1.mbs2.x86_64.rpm 7a0d0eca35911d9f15b76b474c5512cf mbs2/x86_64/ntp-doc-4.2.6p5-16.1.mbs2.noarch.rpm cb0371050702950084ff633ea45c2c5c mbs2/SRPMS/ntp-4.2.6p5-16.1.mbs2.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
