EulerOS 2.0 SP5 : ntp (EulerOS-SA-2020-1945)

high Nessus Plugin ID 140166

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the ntp packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

 - ntpd in ntp before 4.2.8p14 and 4.3.x before 4.3.100 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon exit or system time change) by predicting transmit timestamps for use in spoofed packets. The victim must be relying on unauthenticated IPv4 time sources. There must be an off-path attacker who can query time from the victim's ntpd instance.(CVE-2020-13817)

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

Solution

Update the affected ntp package.
