Important: ntp security update. Date: Sat, 20 Dec 2014 19:22:14 +0000 Reply-To: scientific-linux-users@ Sender: Security Errata for Scientific Linux From: Pat Riehecky Subject: Security ERRATA Important: ntp on SL6.x, SL7.x i386/x86_64 MIME-Version: 1.0 Synopsis: Important: ntp security update Advisory ID: SLSA-2014:2024-1 Issue Date: 2014-12-20 CVE Numbers: CVE-2014-9293 CVE-2014-9294 CVE-2014-9295 CVE-2014-9296 -- 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 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) It was found that ntp-keygen used a weak method for generating MD5 keys. This could possibly allow an attacker to guess generated MD5 keys that could then be used to spoof an NTP client or server. Note: it is recommended to regenerate any MD5 keys that had explicitly been generated with ntp-keygen; the default installation does not contain such keys). (CVE-2014-9294) A missing return statement in the receive() function could potentially allow a remote attacker to bypass NTP's authentication mechanism. (CVE-2014-9296) After installing the update, the ntpd daemon will restart automatically. -- SL6 x86_64 ntp-4.2.6p5-2.el6_6.x86_64.rpm ntp-debuginfo-4.2.6p5-2.el6_6.x86_64.rpm ntpdate-4.2.6p5-2.el6_6.x86_64.rpm ntp-perl-4.2.6p5-2.el6_6.x86_64.rpm i386 ntp-4.2.6p5-2.el6_6.i686.rpm ntp-debuginfo-4.2.6p5-2.el6_6.i686.rpm ntpdate-4.2.6p5-2.el6_6.i686.rpm ntp-perl-4.2.6p5-2.el6_6.i686.rpm noarch ntp-doc-4.2.6p5-2.el6_6.noarch.rpm SL7 x86_64 ntp-4.2.6p5-19.el7_0.x86_64.rpm ntp-debuginfo-4.2.6p5-19.el7_0.x86_64.rpm ntpdate-4.2.6p5-19.el7_0.x86_64.rpm sntp-4.2.6p5-19.el7_0.x86_64.rpm noarch ntp-doc-4.2.6p5-19.el7_0.noarch.rpm ntp-perl-4.2.6p5-19.el7_0.noarch.rpm - Scientific Linux Development Team .

Several denial of service issues were fixed in the Kerberos KeyDistribution Center (KDC).. =========================================================================Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1233-1 October 18, 2011 krb5 vulnerabilities ========================================================================= A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 11.10 - Ubuntu 11.04 - Ubuntu 10.10 - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Summary: Several denial of service issues were fixed in the Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC). Software Description: - krb5: MIT Kerberos Network Authentication Protocol Details: Nalin Dahyabhai, Andrej Ota and Kyle Moffett discovered a NULL pointer dereference in the KDC LDAP backend. An unauthenticated remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. This issue affected Ubuntu 11.10. (CVE-2011-1527) Mark Deneen discovered that an assert() could be triggered in the krb5_ldap_lockout_audit() function in the KDC LDAP backend and the krb5_db2_lockout_audit() function in the KDC DB2 backend. An unauthenticated remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2011-1528) It was discovered that a NULL pointer dereference could occur in the lookup_lockout_policy() function in the KDC LDAP and DB2 backends. An unauthenticated remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2011-1529) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 11.10: krb5-kdc 1.9.1+dfsg-1ubuntu1.1 krb5-kdc-ldap 1.9.1+dfsg-1ubuntu1.1 Ubuntu 11.04: krb5-kdc 1.8.3+dfsg-5ubuntu2.2 krb5-kdc-ldap 1.8.3+dfsg-5ubuntu2.2 Ubuntu 10.10: krb5-kdc 1.8.1+dfsg-5ubuntu0.8 krb5-kdc-ldap 1.8.1+dfsg-5ubuntu0.8 Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: krb5-kdc 1.8.1+dfsg-2ubuntu0.10 krb5-kdc-ldap 1.8.1+dfsg-2ubuntu0.10 In general, a standardsystem update will make all the necessary changes.
