Citrix XenServer Multiple Vulnerabilities (CTX220112)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 96928

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Citrix XenServer running on the remote host is missing a security hotfix. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - A man-in-the-middle (MitM) vulnerability exists in the NTP component due to an improperly implemented threshold limitation for the '-g' option. A man-in-the-middle attacker can exploit this to intercept NTP traffic and return arbitrary date and time values to users. This vulnerability is only applicable if NTP is enabled.
 (CVE-2015-5300)

 - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the NTP component 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. This vulnerability is only applicable if NTP is enabled.
 (CVE-2015-7704)

 - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the NTP component due to improper implementation of rate-limiting when handling server queries. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to stop the client from querying its servers, preventing it from updating its clock. This vulnerability is only applicable if NTP is enabled. (CVE-2015-7705)

 - An unspecified flaw exists that allows an authenticated, remote attacker with read-only administrator access to corrupt the host database. This vulnerability is only applicable if RBAC is enabled. (CVE-2017-5572)

 - An unspecified flaw exists that allows an authenticated, remote attacker with read-only administration access to cancel the tasks of other administrators. This vulnerability is only applicable if RBAC is enabled.
 (CVE-2017-5573)

Solution

Apply the appropriate hotfix per the vendor advisory.
