From Red Hat Security Advisory 2009:1651 :

An updated ntp package that fixes two security issues is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.

This update has been rated as having moderate 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.

Robin Park and Dmitri Vinokurov discovered a flaw in the way ntpd handled certain malformed NTP packets. ntpd logged information about all such packets and replied with an NTP packet that was treated as malformed when received by another ntpd. A remote attacker could use this flaw to create an NTP packet reply loop between two ntpd servers via a malformed packet with a spoofed source IP address and port, causing ntpd on those servers to use excessive amounts of CPU time and fill disk space with log messages. (CVE-2009-3563)

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)

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 restart automatically.

a. Service Console update for COS kernel

   Updated COS package 'kernel' addresses the security issues that are    fixed through versions 2.6.18-164.11.1.

b. ESXi userworld update for ntp

   The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize the time of    a computer client or server to another server or reference time    source.

   A vulnerability in ntpd could allow a remote attacker to cause a    denial of service (CPU and bandwidth consumption) by using    MODE_PRIVATE to send a spoofed (1) request or (2) response packet    that triggers a continuous exchange of MODE_PRIVATE error responses    between two NTP daemons.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)    has assigned the name CVE-2009-3563 to this issue.

c. Service Console package openssl updated to 0.9.8e-12.el5_4.1

   OpenSSL is a toolkit implementing SSL v2/v3 and TLS protocols with    full-strength cryptography world-wide.

   A memory leak in the zlib could allow a remote attacker to cause a    denial of service (memory consumption) via vectors that trigger    incorrect calls to the CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data function.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)    has assigned the name CVE-2009-4355 to this issue.

   A vulnerability was discovered which may allow remote attackers to    spoof certificates by using MD2 design flaws to generate a hash    collision in less than brute-force time. NOTE: the scope of this    issue is currently limited because the amount of computation    required is still large.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)    has assigned the name CVE-2009-2409 to this issue.

   This update also includes security fixes that were first addressed    in version openssl-0.9.8e-12.el5.i386.rpm.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)    has assigned the names CVE-2009-0590, CVE-2009-1377, CVE-2009-1378,    CVE-2009-1379, CVE-2009-1386 and CVE-2009-1387 to these issues.

d. Service Console update for krb5 to 1.6.1-36.el5_4.1 and pam_krb5 to    2.2.14-15.

   Kerberos is a network authentication protocol. It is designed to    provide strong authentication for client/server applications by    using secret-key cryptography.

   Multiple integer underflows in the AES and RC4 functionality in the    crypto library could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of    service (daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code by    providing ciphertext with a length that is too short to be valid.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)    has assigned the name CVE-2009-4212 to this issue.

   The service console package for pam_krb5 is updated to version    pam_krb5-2.2.14-15. This update fixes a flaw found in pam_krb5. In    some non-default configurations (specifically, where pam_krb5 would    be the first module to prompt for a password), a remote attacker    could use this flaw to recognize valid usernames, which would aid a    dictionary-based password guess attack.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)    has assigned the name CVE-2009-1384 to this issue.

e. Service Console package bind updated to 9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.2

   BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Daemon) is by far the most widely used    Domain Name System (DNS) software on the Internet.

   A vulnerability was discovered which could allow remote attacker to    add the Authenticated Data (AD) flag to a forged NXDOMAIN response    for an existing domain.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)    has assigned the name CVE-2010-0097 to this issue.

   A vulnerability was discovered which could allow remote attackers    to conduct DNS cache poisoning attacks by receiving a recursive    client query and sending a response that contains CNAME or DNAME    records, which do not have the intended validation before caching.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)    has assigned the name CVE-2010-0290 to this issue.

   A vulnerability was found in the way that bind handles out-of-    bailiwick data accompanying a secure response without re-fetching    from the original source, which could allow remote attackers to    have an unspecified impact via a crafted response.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)    has assigned the name CVE-2010-0382 to this issue.

   NOTE: ESX does not use the BIND name service daemon by default.

f. Service Console package gcc updated to 3.2.3-60

   The GNU Compiler Collection includes front ends for C, C++,    Objective-C, Fortran, Java, and Ada, as well as libraries for these    languages

   GNU Libtool's ltdl.c attempts to open .la library files in the    current working directory.  This could allow a local user to gain    privileges via a Trojan horse file.  The GNU C Compiler collection    (gcc) provided in ESX contains a statically linked version of the    vulnerable code, and is being replaced.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)    has assigned the name CVE-2009-3736 to this issue.

g. Service Console package gzip update to 1.3.3-15.rhel3

   gzip is a software application used for file compression

   An integer underflow in gzip's unlzw function on 64-bit platforms    may allow a remote attacker to trigger an array index error    leading to a denial of service (application crash) or possibly    execute arbitrary code via a crafted LZW compressed file.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)    has assigned the name CVE-2010-0001 to this issue.

h. Service Console package sudo updated to 1.6.9p17-6.el5_4

   Sudo (su 'do') allows a system administrator to delegate authority    to give certain users (or groups of users) the ability to run some    (or all) commands as root or another user while providing an audit    trail of the commands and their arguments.

   When a pseudo-command is enabled, sudo permits a match between the    name of the pseudo-command and the name of an executable file in an    arbitrary directory, which allows local users to gain privileges    via a crafted executable file.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)    has assigned the name CVE-2010-0426 to this issue.

   When the runas_default option is used, sudo does not properly set    group memberships, which allows local users to gain privileges via    a sudo command.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)    has assigned the name CVE-2010-0427 to this issue.
