impersonation attacks between authenticated peers.

CVE-2015-7977 / CVE-2015-7978

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

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.

We recommend that you upgrade your ntp packages.
