Summary

An off-path attacker can cause a preemptible client association to be demobilized in NTP 4.2.8p4 and earlier and NTPSec a5fb34b9cc89b92a8fef2f459004865c93bb7f92 by sending a crypto NAK packet to a victim client with a spoofed source address of an existing associated peer. This is true even if authentication is enabled.

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.
  • Server Side Include (SSI) Injection
    An attacker can use Server Side Include (SSI) Injection to send code to a web application that then gets executed by the web server. Doing so enables the attacker to achieve similar results to Cross Site Scripting, viz., arbitrary code execution and information disclosure, albeit on a more limited scale, since the SSI directives are nowhere near as powerful as a full-fledged scripting language. Nonetheless, the attacker can conveniently gain access to sensitive files, such as password files, and execute shell commands.
  • Cross Zone Scripting
    An attacker is able to cause a victim to load content into their web-browser that bypasses security zone controls and gain access to increased privileges to execute scripting code or other web objects such as unsigned ActiveX controls or applets. This is a privilege elevation attack targeted at zone-based web-browser security. In a zone-based model, pages belong to one of a set of zones corresponding to the level of privilege assigned to that page. Pages in an untrusted zone would have a lesser level of access to the system and/or be restricted in the types of executable content it was allowed to invoke. In a cross-zone scripting attack, a page that should be assigned to a less privileged zone is granted the privileges of a more trusted zone. This can be accomplished by exploiting bugs in the browser, exploiting incorrect configuration in the zone controls, through a cross-site scripting attack that causes the attackers' content to be treated as coming from a more trusted page, or by leveraging some piece of system functionality that is accessible from both the trusted and less trusted zone. This attack differs from "Restful Privilege Escalation" in that the latter correlates to the inadequate securing of RESTful access methods (such as HTTP DELETE) on the server, while cross-zone scripting attacks the concept of security zones as implemented by a browser.
  • Cross Site Scripting through Log Files
    An attacker may leverage a system weakness where logs are susceptible to log injection to insert scripts into the system's logs. If these logs are later viewed by an administrator through a thin administrative interface and the log data is not properly HTML encoded before being written to the page, the attackers' scripts stored in the log will be executed in the administrative interface with potentially serious consequences. This attack pattern is really a combination of two other attack patterns: log injection and stored cross site scripting.
  • Command Line Execution through SQL Injection
    An attacker uses standard SQL injection methods to inject data into the command line for execution. This could be done directly through misuse of directives such as MSSQL_xp_cmdshell or indirectly through injection of data into the database that would be interpreted as shell commands. Sometime later, an unscrupulous backend application (or could be part of the functionality of the same application) fetches the injected data stored in the database and uses this data as command line arguments without performing proper validation. The malicious data escapes that data plane by spawning new commands to be executed on the host.

Stephen Gray discovered that a NULL pointer dereference and a buffer
overflow in the handling of 'ntpdc reslist' commands may result in
denial of service.

CVE-2015-7979

Aanchal Malhotra discovered that if NTP is configured for broadcast
mode, an attacker can send malformed authentication packets which
break associations with the server for other broadcast clients.

CVE-2015-8138

Matthew van Gundy and Jonathan Gardner discovered that missing
validation of origin timestamps in ntpd clients may result in denial
of service.

CVE-2015-8158

Jonathan Gardner discovered that missing input sanitising in ntpq may
result in denial of service.

CVE-2016-1547

Stephen Gray and Matthew van Gundy discovered that incorrect handling
of crypto NAK packets my result in denial of service.

CVE-2016-1548

Jonathan Gardner and Miroslav Lichvar discovered that ntpd clients
could be forced to change from basic client/server mode to interleaved
symmetric mode, preventing time synchronisation.

CVE-2016-1550

Matthew van Gundy, Stephen Gray and Loganaden Velvindron discovered
that timing leaks in the the packet authentication code could result
in recovery of a message digest.

CVE-2016-2516

Yihan Lian discovered that duplicate IPs on 'unconfig' directives will
trigger an assert.

CVE-2016-2518

Yihan Lian discovered that an OOB memory access could potentially
crash ntpd.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version
1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-2+deb7u7.

"An update for ntp is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security
impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each
vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize a computer's
time with another referenced time source. These packages include the
ntpd service which continuously adjusts system time and utilities used
to query and configure the ntpd service.

Security Fix(es) :

* It was found that when NTP was configured in broadcast mode, a
remote attacker could broadcast packets with bad authentication to all
clients. The clients, upon receiving the malformed packets, would
break the association with the broadcast server, causing them to
become out of sync over a longer period of time. (CVE-2015-7979)

* A denial of service flaw was found in the way NTP handled
preemptable client associations. A remote attacker could send several
crypto NAK packets to a victim client, each with a spoofed source
address of an existing associated peer, preventing that client from
synchronizing its time. (CVE-2016-1547)

* It was found that an ntpd client could be forced to change from
basic client/server mode to the interleaved symmetric mode. A remote
attacker could use a spoofed packet that, when processed by an ntpd
client, would cause that client to reject all future legitimate server
responses, effectively disabling time synchronization on that client.
(CVE-2016-1548)

* A flaw was found in the way NTP's libntp performed message
authentication. An attacker able to observe the timing of the
comparison function used in packet authentication could potentially
use this flaw to recover the message digest. (CVE-2016-1550)

* An out-of-bounds access flaw was found in the way ntpd processed
certain packets. An authenticated attacker could use a crafted packet
to create a peer association with hmode of 7 and larger, which could
potentially (although highly unlikely) cause ntpd to crash.

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to impersonate a peer. NTP could allow a local attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the failure to use a constant-time memory comparison function when validating the authentication digest on incoming packets. By sending a specially crafted packet with an authentication payload, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to conduct a timing attack to compute the value of the valid authentication digest. While the majority OSes implement martian packet filtering in their network stack, at least regarding 127.0.0.0/8, a rare few will allow packets claiming to be from 127.0.0.0/8 that arrive over physical network. On these OSes, if ntpd is configured to use a reference clock an attacker can inject packets over the network that look like they are coming from that reference clock. If ntpd was expressly configured to allow for remote configuration, a malicious user who knows the controlkey for ntpq or the requestkey for ntpdc (if mode7 is expressly enabled) can create a session with ntpd and then send a crafted packet to ntpd that will change the value of the trustedkey, controlkey, or requestkey to a value that will prevent any subsequent authentication with ntpd until ntpd is restarted. NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error when using a specially crafted packet to create a peer association with hmode > 7. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the MATCH_ASSOC() function to trigger an out-of-bounds read. NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the failure to always check the ctl_getitem() function return value. By sending an overly large value, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.

    descriptionNTPv3 and NTPv4 are vulnerable to : http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-7974 NTP could allow a remote authenticated attacker to conduct spoofing attacks, caused by a missing key check. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to impersonate a peer. NTP could allow a local attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the failure to use a constant-time memory comparison function when validating the authentication digest on incoming packets. By sending a specially crafted packet with an authentication payload, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to conduct a timing attack to compute the value of the valid authentication digest. While the majority OSes implement martian packet filtering in their network stack, at least regarding 127.0.0.0/8, a rare few will allow packets claiming to be from 127.0.0.0/8 that arrive over physical network. On these OSes, if ntpd is configured to use a reference clock an attacker can inject packets over the network that look like they are coming from that reference clock. If ntpd was expressly configured to allow for remote configuration, a malicious user who knows the controlkey for ntpq or the requestkey for ntpdc (if mode7 is expressly enabled) can create a session with ntpd and then send a crafted packet to ntpd that will change the value of the trustedkey, controlkey, or requestkey to a value that will prevent any subsequent authentication with ntpd until ntpd is restarted. NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error when using a specially crafted packet to create a peer association with hmode > 7. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the MATCH_ASSOC() function to trigger an out-of-bounds read. NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the failure to always check the ctl_getitem() function return value. By sending an overly large value, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service. NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the demobilization of a preemptable client association. By sending specially crafted crypto NAK packets, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service. NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the improper handling of packets. By sending specially crafted CRYPTO_NAK packets, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause ntpd to crash. NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the improper handling of packets. By sending specially crafted CRYPTO_NAK packets to an ephemeral peer target prior to a response being sent, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to demobilize the ephemeral association. NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the improper handling of packets. By sending spoofed server packets with correct origin timestamps, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a false leap indication to be set. NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the improper handling of packets. By sending spoofed CRYPTO_NAK or a bad MAC packets with correct origin timestamps, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the autokey association to reset.

An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a client to stop querying its servers, preventing the client from updating its clock. (CVE-2015-7704) - A flaw exists in the receive() function in ntp_proto.c that allows packets with an origin timestamp of zero to bypass security checks. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to spoof arbitrary content. (CVE-2015-8138) - A denial of service vulnerability exists due to improper handling of a crafted Crypto NAK Packet with a source address spoofed to match that of an existing associated peer. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to demobilize a client association. (CVE-2016-1547) - A denial of service vulnerability exists due to improper handling of packets spoofed to appear to be from a valid ntpd server. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause NTP to switch from basic client/server mode to interleaved symmetric mode, causing the client to reject future legitimate responses.

    descriptionThe version of Arista Networks EOS running on the remote device is affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - A flaw exists in NTP in the receive() function within file ntpd/ntp_proto.c that allows packets with an origin timestamp of zero to bypass security checks. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to spoof arbitrary content. (CVE-2015-8138) - A flaw exists in NTP when handling crafted Crypto NAK Packets having spoofed source addresses that match an existing associated peer. A unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to demobilize a client association, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-1547) - A flaw exists in NTP when handling packets that have been spoofed to appear to be coming from a valid ntpd server, which may cause a switch to interleaved symmetric mode. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a packet having a spoofed timestamp, to cause the client to reject future legitimate server responses, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-1548) - A flaw exits in NTP when handling a saturation of ephemeral associations. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to defeat the clock selection algorithm and thereby modify a victim

    description### SUMMARY An off-path attacker can cause a preemptible client association to be demobilized by sending a crypto NAK packet to a victim client with a spoofed source address of an existing associated peer. This is true even if authentication is enabled. Furthermore, if the attacker keeps sending crypto NAK packets, for example every one second, the victim never has a chance to reestablish the association and synchronize time with the legitimate server. ### TESTED VERSIONS ntp 4.2.8p3 ntp 4.2.8p4 NTPSec a5fb34b9cc89b92a8fef2f459004865c93bb7f92 ### PRODUCT URLs http://www.ntp.org http://www.ntpsec.org/ ### DETAILS The root cause of this defect is an error in ntp_proto.c that causes an association to be demobilized with a call to the unpeer() function when a crypto-NAK packet is received and FLAG_PREEMPT is set for the peer. The defect occurs when an unauthenticated crypto-NAK packet with the source address of an existing peer with whom the client has a preemptible association reaches the following code: ``` 1292 /* 1293 * If this is a crypto_NAK, the server cannot authenticate a 1294 * client packet. The server might have just changed keys. Clear 1295 * the association and restart the protocol. 1296 */ 1297 if (is_authentic == AUTH_CRYPTO) { 1298 report_event(PEVNT_AUTH, peer, "crypto_NAK"); 1299 peer->flash |= TEST5; /* bad auth */ 1300 peer->badauth++; 1301 if (peer->flags & FLAG_PREEMPT) { 1302 unpeer(peer); 1303 return; 1304 } ... 1319 } ``` Since the packet is a crypto-NAK, and the client has a preemptible association with the peer, isauthentic == AUTHCRYPTO will be true, the FLAG_PREEMPT bit will be set in peer->flags, and the call to unpeer() will occur. The documentation states that preemptible associations are created when the preempt flag is specified with the server command in the NTP configuration or upon arrival of an automatic server discovery packet. Examination of the code reveals that preemptible associations are created in the following ways: 1. CONFIGURATION: A preempt flag is parsed in the the NTP configuration file will cause peer flags to have the FLAG_PREEMPT flag set. ntpconfig.c: 3686 case TPreempt: 3687 peerflags |= FLAG_PREEMPT; 3688 break; 2. BROADCAST, MULTICAST: There are two places where broadcast and multicast associations can be created. The first packet from either a broadcast server or multicast server is received, the client is configured as a broadcast or multicast client, and sys_bdelay != 0. One example of when this will occur is when a broadcast delay is specified in the configuration. ``` ntp_proto.c: 985 case AM_NEWBCL: ... 1045 if (sys_bdelay != 0) { ... 1061 peer = newpeer(&rbufp->recv_srcadr, NULL, 1062 match_ep, MODE_BCLIENT, hisversion, 1063 pkt->ppoll, pkt->ppoll, FLAG_PREEMPT, 1064 MDF_BCLNT, 0, skeyid, sys_ident); ... 1072 break; 1073 } ``` The second case occurs when the first packet from a broadcast or multicast server is received, the client is a broadcast or multicast client, and sys_bdelay == 0. ``` ntp_proto.c: 985 case AM_NEWBCL: ... 1083 peer = newpeer(&rbufp->recv_srcadr, NULL, match_ep, 1084 MODE_CLIENT, hisversion, pkt->ppoll, pkt->ppoll, 1085 FLAG_BC_VOL | FLAG_IBURST | FLAG_PREEMPT, MDF_BCLNT, 1086 0, skeyid, sys_ident); ``` 1. MANYCAST, POOL: A manycast server mode packet is received in response to a client mode packet sent to a multicast group address for manycastclient or a unicast address for pool. ``` ntpproto.c: 921 case AMMANYCAST: ... 952 peer = newpeer(&rbufp->recvsrcadr, NULL, rbufp->dstadr, 953 MODECLIENT, hisversion, peer2->minpoll, 954 peer2->maxpoll, FLAGPREEMPT | 955 (FLAGIBURST & peer2->flags), MDFUCAST | 956 MDFUCLNT, 0, skeyid, sys_ident); ``` In our virtualized testbed, we were able to cause demobilization of preemptible associations and denial of service in each of these cases. ### MITIGATION The underlying causes of this defect are similar to those of other recent defects reported by Cisco and Boston University. Specifically, they are similar to those of the the NAK-to-the-Future defect discovered by Matthew Van Gundy and the off-path authenticated broadcast mode denial of service discovered by Aanchal Malhotra. The recommendations are likewise similar: 1. Packets that fail to authenticate in authenticated modes should be discarded prior to being allowed to change the state of NTP. Because crypto-NAKs are not authenticated, changing state upon receipt of a crypto-NAK may introduce vulnerabilities which affect integrity and availability. RFC 5905 does not specify any required actions for clients to take upon receipt of a crypto-NAK packet. As a result, it may be safe for clients to ignore crypto-NAK packets entirely. 2. Even in unauthenticated modes, more sanity checks, such as origin timestamp validation, should take place to ensure that the packet being received is likely legitimate. ### TIMELINE * 2016-01-19 - CERT reports to NTP * 2016-04-26 - Public disclosure

  • bulletinFamilyexploit
    description### Summary An exploitable denial of service vulnerability exists in the trap functionality of ntpd. If an ntpd instance is configured to send traps, a specially crafted network packet can be used to cause a null pointer dereference resulting in a denial of service. This vulnerability can be triggered by a remote unauthenticated attacker. ### Tested Versions * NTP 4.2.8p8 * NTPsec 0.9.3 ### Product URLs * http://www.ntp.org * http://www.ntpsec.org/ ### CVSS Scores CVSSv2: 7.1 - (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C) CVSSv3: 5.9 - CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H ### Details When reporting traps, the ntpd reportevent(err, peer, str) function asserts that peer != NULL if err is a "peer event". Thus if reportevent() can be called with NULL peer parameter, ntpd will abort() causing a DoS condition. ntp-4.2.8p7 introduced a variety of validity checks on crypto-NAK packets to address the nak-dos vulnerability (CVE-2016-1547). When any of these validity checks fail, ntpd reports an event to any trap receivers with: reportevent(PEVNTAUTH, peer, "Invalid_NAK"). If the source address and mode of the incoming crypto-NAK packet do not correspond to an existing peer, the peer argument will be NULL causing the INSIST(peer != NULL) assertion to fail when report_event() attempts to report the event to its trap recipients. It may also be possible to trigger reporting of a peer event without a valid peer on other code paths. For example, checkleapsec() in ntptimer.c calls: ``` report_event(PEVNT_ARMED, sys_peer, NULL); ``` If ntpd's syspeer advertises a leap second and then the host running ntpd becomes temporarily disconnected, it may be possible for checkleapsec() to be called without a valid sys_peer leading to the assertion failure above. This crash can be reliably triggered on ntp-4.2.8p8. We are reporting this defect against NTPsec 0.9.3 as well because it contains the same incorrect logic in reportevent(). However we did not attempt to exploit this vulnerability on NTPsec because triggering a call to reportevent() with a NULL peer is not as straightforward as with ntp-4.2.8p8. The fix for CRYPTO_NAK crash (CVE-2016-4957) introduced in ntp-4.2.8p8 does not address this vulnerability. Though traps are not configured in most common NTP environments, attackers can employ "Network Time Protocol Control Mode Unauthenticated Trap Information Disclosure and DDoS Amplification Vulnerability" (TALOS-2016-0203) in order to configure a trap in order to exploit this vulnerability. ### Mitigation Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires ntpd to be configured with trap recipients. Systems can be protected by removing all "trap" commands from ntp.conf and adopting the mitigations for "Network Time Protocol Control Mode Unauthenticated Trap Information Disclosure and DDoS Amplification Vulnerability" (TALOS-2016-0203). ### Timeline * 2016-09-20 - Vendor Disclosure * 2016-11-21 - Public Release
