Summary

The symmetric-key feature in the receive function in ntp_proto.c in ntpd in NTP 3.x and 4.x before 4.2.8p2 performs state-variable updates upon receiving certain invalid packets, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to cause a denial of service (synchronization loss) by spoofing the source IP address of a peer.

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - An invalid free memory error exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input when a DTLS peer receives application data between ChangeCipherSpec and Finished messages. A remote attacker can exploit this to corrupt memory, resulting in a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-8176) - A denial of service vulnerability exists when processing an ECParameters structure due to an infinite loop that occurs when a specified curve is over a malformed binary polynomial field. A remote attacker can exploit this to perform a denial of service against any system that processes public keys, certificate requests, or certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with client authentication enabled. (CVE-2015-1788) - A denial of service vulnerability exists due to improper validation of the content and length of the ASN1_TIME string by the X509_cmp_time() function. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a malformed certificate and CRLs of various sizes, to cause a segmentation fault, resulting in a denial of service condition. TLS clients that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification callbacks.

    NASL idAIX_IV74261.NASL
    descriptionThe remote AIX host has a version of Network Time Protocol (NTP) installed that is affected by a denial of service vulnerability due to a flaw in the symmetric-key feature in the receive() function in file ntp_proto.c when receiving certain invalid packets, which causes state-variable updates to be performed. A man-in-the-middle attacker can exploit this, by spoofing the source IP of a peer, to cause a synchronization loss.

    descriptionMultiple vulnerabilities were discovered in ntp, an implementation of the Network Time Protocol : - CVE-2015-1798 When configured to use a symmetric key with an NTP peer, ntpd would accept packets without MAC as if they had a valid MAC. This could allow a remote attacker to bypass the packet authentication and send malicious packets without having to know the symmetric key. - CVE-2015-1799 When peering with other NTP hosts using authenticated symmetric association, ntpd would update its internal state variables before the MAC of the NTP messages was validated. This could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service by impeding synchronization between NTP peers. Additionally, it was discovered that generating MD5 keys using ntp-keygen on big endian machines would either trigger an endless loop, or generate non-random keys.

    descriptionThe version of the remote NTP server is 3.x or 4.x prior to 4.2.8p2. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities : - The symmetric-key feature in the receive() function requires a correct message authentication code (MAC) only if the MAC field has a nonzero length. A man-in-the-middle attacker can exploit this to spoof packets by omitting the MAC. (CVE-2015-1798) - A flaw exists in the symmetric-key feature in the receive() function when handling a specially crafted packet sent to one of two hosts that are peering with each other. An attacker can exploit this to cause the next attempt by the servers to synchronize to fail. (CVE-2015-1799) - A flaw exists in util/ntp-keygen.c due to the way that the ntp-keygen utility generates MD5 symmetric keys on big-endian systems. A remote attacker can exploit this to more easily guess MD5 symmetric keys and thereby spoof an NTP server or client. (CVE-2015-3405)

    descriptionBrief introduction CVE-2015-1798 When ntpd is configured to use a symmetric key to authenticate a remote NTP server/peer, it checks if the NTP message authentication code (MAC) in received packets is valid, but not if there actually is any MAC included. Packets without a MAC are accepted as if they had a valid MAC. This allows a MITM attacker to send false packets that are accepted by the client/peer without having to know the symmetric key. The attacker needs to know the transmit timestamp of the client to match it in the forged reply and the false reply needs to reach the client before the genuine reply from the server.

    descriptionThe symmetric-key feature in the receive function in ntp_proto.c in ntpd in NTP 4.x before 4.2.8p2 requires a correct MAC only if the MAC field has a nonzero length, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof packets by omitting the MAC. (CVE-2015-1798) The symmetric-key feature in the receive function in ntp_proto.c in ntpd in NTP 3.x and 4.x before 4.2.8p2 performs state-variable updates upon receiving certain invalid packets, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to cause a denial of service (synchronization loss) by spoofing the source IP address of a peer. (CVE-2015-1799) This update also addresses leap-second handling. With older ntp versions, the -x option was sometimes used as a workaround to avoid kernel inserting/deleting leap seconds by stepping the clock and possibly upsetting running applications. That no longer works with 4.2.6 as ntpd steps the clock itself when a leap second occurs. The fix is to treat the one second offset gained during leap second as a normal offset and check the stepping threshold (set by -x or tinker step) to decide if a step should be applied.
