  - An Information Disclosure vulnerability exists in NTP 4.2.7p25 private (mode 6/7) messages via a     GET_RESTRICT control message, which could let a malicious user obtain sensitive information.
    (CVE-2014-5209)

  - ntpd in ntp before 4.2.8p3 with remote configuration enabled allows remote authenticated users with     knowledge of the configuration password and access to a computer entrusted to perform remote configuration     to cause a denial of service (service crash) via a NULL byte in a crafted configuration directive packet.
    (CVE-2015-5146)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

According to the versions of the ntp packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - It was found that when ntp is configured with rate     limiting for all associations the limits are also     applied to responses received from its configured     sources. A remote attacker who knows the sources can     cause a denial of service by preventing ntpd from     accepting valid responses from its     sources.(CVE-2016-7426)

  - ntpq in NTP before 4.2.8p7 allows remote attackers to     obtain origin timestamps and then impersonate peers via     unspecified vectors.(CVE-2015-8139)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way     ntpd processed 'ntpdc reslist' commands that queried     restriction lists with a large amount of entries. A     remote attacker could potentially use this flaw to     crash ntpd.(CVE-2015-7977)

  - A vulnerability was found in NTP, in the parsing of     packets from the /dev/datum device. A malicious device     could send crafted messages, causing ntpd to     crash.(CVE-2017-6462)

  - The process_packet function in ntp_proto.c in ntpd in     NTP 4.x before 4.2.8p8 allows remote attackers to cause     a denial of service (peer-variable modification) by     sending spoofed packets from many source IP addresses     in a certain scenario, as demonstrated by triggering an     incorrect leap indication.(CVE-2016-4954)

  - It was found that ntpd could crash due to an     uninitialized variable when processing malformed     logconfig configuration commands.(CVE-2015-5194)

  - It was discovered that the sntp utility could become     unresponsive due to being caught in an infinite loop     when processing a crafted NTP packet.(CVE-2015-5219)

  - It was discovered that ntpd as a client did not     correctly check the originate timestamp in received     packets. A remote attacker could use this flaw to send     a crafted packet to an ntpd client that would     effectively disable synchronization with the server, or     push arbitrary offset/delay measurements to modify the     time on the client.(CVE-2015-8138)

  - It was found that the fix for CVE-2014-9750 was     incomplete: three issues were found in the value length     checks in NTP's ntp_crypto.c, where a packet with     particular autokey operations that contained malicious     data was not always being completely validated. A     remote attacker could use a specially crafted NTP     packet to crash ntpd.(CVE-2015-7702)

  - Multiple buffer overflow flaws were discovered in     ntpd's crypto_recv(), ctl_putdata(), and configure()     functions. A remote attacker could use either of these     flaws to send a specially crafted request packet that     could crash ntpd or, potentially, execute arbitrary     code with the privileges of the ntp user. Note: the     crypto_recv() flaw requires non default configurations     to be active, while the ctl_putdata() flaw, by default,     can only be exploited via local attackers, and the     configure() flaw requires additional authentication to     exploit.(CVE-2014-9295)

  - 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)

  - 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 the fix for CVE-2014-9750 was     incomplete: three issues were found in the value length     checks in NTP's ntp_crypto.c, where a packet with     particular autokey operations that contained malicious     data was not always being completely validated. A     remote attacker could use a specially crafted NTP     packet to crash ntpd.(CVE-2015-7692)

  - A flaw was found in the way the ntpq client processed     certain incoming packets in a loop in the getresponse()     function. A remote attacker could potentially use this     flaw to crash an ntpq client instance.(CVE-2015-8158)

  - It was discovered that ntpd as a client did not     correctly check timestamps in Kiss-of-Death packets. A     remote attacker could use this flaw to send a crafted     Kiss-of-Death packet to an ntpd client that would     increase the client's polling interval value, and     effectively disable synchronization with the     server.(CVE-2015-7704)

  - A flaw was found in the control mode functionality of     ntpd. A remote attacker could send a crafted control     mode packet which could lead to information disclosure     or result in DDoS amplification attacks.(CVE-2016-9310)

  - A vulnerability was discovered in the NTP server's     parsing of configuration directives. A remote,     authenticated attacker could cause ntpd to crash by     sending a crafted message.(CVE-2017-6464)

  - It was found that ntpd automatically generated weak     keys for its internal use if no ntpdc request     authentication key was specified in the ntp.conf     configuration file. A remote attacker able to match the     configured IP restrictions could guess the generated     key, and possibly use it to send ntpdc query or     configuration requests.(CVE-2014-9293)

  - A denial of service flaw was found in the way NTP hosts     that were peering with each other authenticated     themselves before updating their internal state     variables. An attacker could send packets to one peer     host, which could cascade to other peers, and stop the     synchronization process among the reached     peers.(CVE-2015-1799)

  - The process_packet function in ntp_proto.c in ntpd in     NTP 4.x before 4.2.8p8 allows remote attackers to cause     a denial of service (peer-variable modification) by     sending spoofed packets from many source IP addresses     in a certain scenario, as demonstrated by triggering an     incorrect leap indication.(CVE-2016-4954)

  - ntpd in NTP 4.x before 4.2.8p8, when autokey is     enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (peer-variable clearing and association outage)     by sending (1) a spoofed crypto-NAK packet or (2) a     packet with an incorrect MAC value at a certain     time.(CVE-2016-4955)

  - ntpd in NTP 4.x before 4.2.8p8 allows remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (interleaved-mode     transition and time change) via a spoofed broadcast     packet. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an     incomplete fix for CVE-2016-1548.(CVE-2016-4956)

  - Buffer overflow in the legacy Datum Programmable Time     Server (DPTS) refclock driver in NTP before 4.2.8p10     and 4.3.x before 4.3.94 allows local users to have     unspecified impact via a crafted /dev/datum     device.(CVE-2017-6462)

  - NTP before 4.2.8p10 and 4.3.x before 4.3.94 allows     remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service     (daemon crash) via an invalid setting in a :config     directive, related to the unpeer option.(CVE-2017-6463)

  - CVE-2015-7871: NAK to the Future: Symmetric association     authentication bypass via crypto-NAK

  - CVE-2015-7855: decodenetnum() will ASSERT botch instead     of returning FAIL on some bogus values

  - CVE-2015-7854: Password Length Memory Corruption     Vulnerability

  - CVE-2015-7853: Invalid length data provided by a custom     refclock driver could cause a buffer overflow

  - CVE-2015-7852 ntpq atoascii() Memory Corruption     Vulnerability

  - CVE-2015-7851 saveconfig Directory Traversal     Vulnerability

  - CVE-2015-7850 remote config logfile-keyfile

  - CVE-2015-7849 trusted key use-after-free

  - CVE-2015-7848 mode 7 loop counter underrun

  - CVE-2015-7701 Slow memory leak in CRYPTO_ASSOC

  - CVE-2015-7703 configuration directives 'pidfile' and     'driftfile' should only be allowed locally

  - CVE-2015-7704, CVE-2015-7705 Clients that receive a KoD     should validate the origin timestamp field

  - CVE-2015-7691, CVE-2015-7692, CVE-2015-7702 Incomplete     autokey data packet length checks

  - obsoletes ntp-memlock.patch.

  - Add a controlkey line to /etc/ntp.conf if one does not     already exist to allow runtime configuuration via ntpq.

  - Temporarily disable memlock to avoid problems due to     high memory usage during name resolution (boo#946386,     ntp-memlock.patch).

  - Use SHA1 instead of MD5 for symmetric keys (boo#905885).

  - Improve runtime configuration :

  - Read keytype from ntp.conf

  - Don't write ntp keys to syslog.

  - Fix legacy action scripts to pass on command line     arguments.

  - Remove ntp.1.gz, it wasn't installed anymore.

  - Remove ntp-4.2.7-rh-manpages.tar.gz and only keep     ntptime.8.gz. The rest is partially irrelevant,     partially redundant and potentially outdated     (boo#942587).

  - Remove 'kod' from the restrict line in ntp.conf     (boo#944300).

  - Use ntpq instead of deprecated ntpdc in start-ntpd     (boo#936327).

  - Add a controlkey to ntp.conf to make the above work.

  - Don't let 'keysdir' lines in ntp.conf trigger the 'keys'     parser.

  - Disable mode 7 (ntpdc) again, now that we don't use it     anymore.

  - Add 'addserver' as a new legacy action.

  - Fix the comment regarding addserver in ntp.conf     (boo#910063).

  - Update to version 4.2.8p3 which incorporates all     security fixes and most other patches we have so far     (fate#319040). More information on:
    http://archive.ntp.org/ntp4/ChangeLog-stable

  - Disable chroot by default (boo#926510).

  - Enable ntpdc for backwards compatibility (boo#920238).

  - Security fix: ntp-keygen may generate non-random     symmetric keys

This network time protocol server ntp was updated to 4.2.8p6 to fix the following issues :

Also yast2-ntp-client was updated to match some sntp syntax changes.
(bsc#937837)

Major functional changes :

  - The 'sntp' commandline tool changed its option handling     in a major way.

  - 'controlkey 1' is added during update to ntp.conf to     allow sntp to work.

  - The local clock is being disabled during update.

  - ntpd is no longer running chrooted.

Other functional changes :

  - ntp-signd is installed.

  - 'enable mode7' can be added to the configuration to     allow ntdpc to work as compatibility mode option.

  - 'kod' was removed from the default restrictions.

  - SHA1 keys are used by default instead of MD5 keys.

Additionally, mitigations are published for the following two issues :

- Bug 2947 / CVE-2015-8140: ntpq vulnerable to replay attacks.
Reported by Cisco ASIG.

- Bug 2946 / CVE-2015-8139: Origin Leak: ntpq and ntpdc, disclose origin. Reported by Cisco ASIG.

The version of the remote NTP server is 3.x or 4.x prior to 4.2.8p6.
It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw exists in the receive() function due to the use     of authenticated broadcast mode. A man-in-the-middle     attacker can exploit this to conduct a replay attack.
    (CVE-2015-7973)

  - A time serving flaw exists in the trusted key system     due to improper key checks. An authenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this to perform impersonation     attacks between authenticated peers. (CVE-2015-7974)

  - An overflow condition exists in the nextvar() function     due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A     local attacker can exploit this to cause a buffer     overflow, resulting in a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2015-7975)

  - A flaw exists in ntp_control.c due to improper filtering     of special characters in filenames by the saveconfig     command. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit     this to inject arbitrary content. (CVE-2015-7976)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in ntp_request.c     that is triggered when handling ntpdc relist commands.
    A remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially     crafted request, to crash the service, resulting in a     denial of service condition. (CVE-2015-7977)

  - A flaw exists in ntpdc that is triggered during the     handling of the relist command. A remote attacker can     exploit this, via recursive traversals of the     restriction list, to exhaust available space on the call     stack, resulting in a denial of service condition.
    CVE-2015-7978)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in authenticated broadcast     mode. A remote attacker can exploit this, via specially     crafted packets, to cause a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2015-7979)

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

  - A flaw exists in ntpq and ntpdc that allows a remote     attacker to disclose sensitive information in     timestamps. (CVE-2015-8139)

  - A flaw exists in the ntpq protocol that is triggered     during the handling of an improper sequence of numbers.
    A man-in-the-middle attacker can exploit this to conduct     a replay attack. (CVE-2015-8140)

  - A flaw exists in the ntpq client that is triggered when     handling packets that cause a loop in the getresponse()     function. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause an     infinite loop, resulting in a denial of service     condition. (CVE-2015-8158)
