HIGH Integrity impact
HIGH Availability impact
HIGH Summary
The datalen parameter in the refclock driver in NTP 4.2.x before 4.2.8p4, and 4.3.x before 4.3.77 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (crash) via a negative input value.
Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
- Overflow Buffers Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
- Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
- Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
- MIME Conversion An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

Network Time Protocol (NTP) is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error in ntp_crypto.c. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a packet containing an extension field with an invalid value for the length of its value field to cause ntpd to crash. Network Time Protocol (NTP) could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a memory leak in CRYPTO_ASSOC. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information. Network Time Protocol (NTP) is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error in ntp_crypto.c. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a packet containing an extension field with an invalid value for the length of its value field to cause ntpd to crash. Network Time Protocol (NTP) is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error in the remote configuration functionality. By sending a specially crafted configuration file, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to enter into an infinite loop. Network Time Protocol (NTP) is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the refclock of ntpd. By sending an overly long string, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash. Network Time Protocol (NTP) is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by ASSERT botch instead of returning FAIL on some invalid values by the decodenetnum() function. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.

An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via crafted NTP packets, to crash ntpd. (CVE 2015-5219) - A flaw exists in the ntp_crypto.c file due to improper validation of the 'vallen' value in extension fields. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted autokey packets, to disclose sensitive information or cause a denial of service. (CVE-2015-7691) - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the autokey functionality due to a failure in the crypto_bob2(), crypto_bob3(), and cert_sign() functions to properly validate the 'vallen' value. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted autokey packets, to crash the NTP service. (CVE-2015-7692) - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the crypto_recv() function in the file ntp_crypto.c related to autokey functionality. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via an ongoing flood of NTPv4 autokey requests, to exhaust memory resources. (CVE-2015-7701) - A denial of service vulnerability exists due to improper validation of packets containing certain autokey operations. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted autokey packets, to crash the NTP service. (CVE-2015-7702) - A denial of service vulnerability exists due to a logic flaw in the authreadkeys() function in the file authreadkeys.c when handling extended logging where the log and key files are set to be the same file. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted set of remote configuration requests, to cause the NTP service to stop responding. (CVE-2015-7850) - A overflow condition exists in the read_refclock_packet() function in the file ntp_io.c when handling negative data lengths. A local attacker can exploit this to crash the NTP service or possibly gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2015-7853) - A denial of service vulnerability exists due to an assertion flaw in the decodenetnum() function in the file decodenetnum.c when handling long data values in mode 6 and 7 packets. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to crash the NTP service.
