"It was discovered that ntpd as a client did not correctly check
timestamps in Kiss-of-Death packets. A remote attacker could use this
flaw to send a crafted Kiss-of-Death packet to an ntpd client that
would increase the client's polling interval value, and effectively
disable synchronization with the server. (CVE-2015-7704)

It was found that ntpd did not correctly implement the threshold
limitation for the '-g' option, which is used to set the time without
any restrictions. A man-in-the-middle attacker able to intercept NTP
traffic between a connecting client and an NTP server could use this
flaw to force that client to make multiple steps larger than the panic
threshold, effectively changing the time to an arbitrary value.
(CVE-2015-5300)

It was found that the fix for CVE-2014-9750 was incomplete: three
issues were found in the value length checks in ntp_crypto.c, where a
packet with particular autokey operations that contained malicious
data was not always being completely validated. Receipt of these
packets can cause ntpd to crash. (CVE-2015-7691 , CVE-2015-7692 ,
CVE-2015-7702)

A potential off by one vulnerability exists in the cookedprint
functionality of ntpq. A specially crafted buffer could cause a buffer
overflow potentially resulting in null byte being written out of
bounds. (CVE-2015-7852)

A memory leak flaw was found in ntpd's CRYPTO_ASSOC. If ntpd is
configured to use autokey authentication, an attacker could send
packets to ntpd that would, after several days of ongoing attack,
cause it to run out of memory. (CVE-2015-7701)"

"The version of the remote NTP server is 4.x prior to 4.2.8p1. It is,
therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A security weakness exists due to the config_auth()
    function improperly generating default keys when no
    authentication key is defined in the ntp.conf file.
    Key size is limited to 31 bits and the insecure
    ntp_random() function is used, resulting in
    cryptographically-weak keys with insufficient entropy. A
    remote attacker can exploit this to defeat cryptographic
    protection mechanisms via a brute-force attack.
    (CVE-2014-9293)

  - A security weakness exists due the use of a weak seed to
    prepare a random number generator used to generate
    symmetric keys. This allows a remote attacker to defeat
    cryptographic protection mechanisms via a brute-force
    attack. (CVE-2014-9294)

  - Multiple stack-based buffer overflow conditions exist
    due to improper validation of user-supplied input when
    handling packets in the crypto_recv(), ctl_putdata(),
    and configure() functions when using autokey
    authentication. A remote attacker can exploit this, via
    a specially crafted packet, to cause a denial of service
    condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2014-9295)

  - A unspecified vulnerability exists due to missing return
    statements in the receive() function, resulting in 
    continued processing even when an authentication error
    is encountered. This allows a remote attacker, via
    specially crafted packets, to trigger unintended
    association changes. (CVE-2014-9296)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to
    improper validation of the 'vallen' value in extension
    fields in ntp_crypto.c. A remote attacker can exploit
    this to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2014-9750)

  - A security bypass vulnerability exists due to a failure
    to restrict ::1 source addresses on IPv6 interfaces. A
    remote attacker can exploit this to bypass configured
    ACLs based on ::1. (CVE-2014-9751)

Note that CVE-2014-9750 and CVE-2014-9751 supersede the discontinued
identifiers CVE-2014-9297 and CVE-2014-9298, which were originally
cited in the vendor advisory.");
