This update fixes a remote buffer overflow in xntp/ntp which can be exploited when autokey is enabled to execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2009-1252) This upfate fixes a buffer overflow in ntpd that can be triggered by a malicious server. (CVE-2009-0159)

An updated ntp package that fixes two security issues is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize a computer's time with a referenced time source.

A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the ntpd daemon's NTPv4 authentication code. If ntpd was configured to use public key cryptography for NTP packet authentication, a remote attacker could use this flaw to send a specially crafted request packet that could crash ntpd. (CVE-2009-1252)

Note: NTP authentication is not enabled by default.

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the ntpq diagnostic command. A malicious, remote server could send a specially crafted reply to an ntpq request that could crash ntpq. (CVE-2009-0159)

All ntp users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which contains backported patches to resolve these issues. After installing the update, the ntpd daemon will be restarted automatically.

The remote Oracle Linux 5 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2009-1039 advisory.

    - fix buffer overflow when parsing Autokey association message       (#500783, CVE-2009-1252)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in NTP, the Network Time Protocol reference implementation. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2009-0159     A buffer overflow in ntpq allow a remote NTP server to     create a denial of service attack or to execute     arbitrary code via a crafted response.

  - CVE-2009-1252     A buffer overflow in ntpd allows a remote attacker to     create a denial of service attack or to execute     arbitrary code when the autokey functionality is     enabled.

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in ntp :

A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the ntpd daemon's NTPv4 authentication code. If ntpd was configured to use public key cryptography for NTP packet authentication, a remote attacker could use this flaw to send a specially crafted request packet that could crash ntpd (CVE-2009-1252).

The updated packages have been patched to prevent this.

A stack-based buffer overflow was discovered in ntpq. If a user were tricked into connecting to a malicious ntp server, a remote attacker could cause a denial of service in ntpq, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.
(CVE-2009-0159)

Chris Ries discovered a stack-based overflow in ntp. If ntp was configured to use autokey, a remote attacker could send a crafted packet to cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2009-1252).

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

New ntp packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0, 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, and -current to fix security issues.

A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the ntpd daemon's NTPv4 authentication code. If ntpd was configured to use public key cryptography for NTP packet authentication, a remote attacker could use this flaw to send a specially crafted request packet that could crash ntpd or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the 'ntp' user. (CVE-2009-1252)

Note: NTP authentication is not enabled by default.

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the ntpq diagnostic command. A malicious, remote server could send a specially crafted reply to an ntpq request that could crash ntpq or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the ntpq command.
(CVE-2009-0159)

After installing the update, the ntpd daemon will be restarted automatically.
