Vulnerabilities > CVE-2016-2519 - Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in NTP
Attack vector
NETWORK Attack complexity
HIGH Privileges required
NONE Confidentiality impact
NONE Integrity impact
NONE Availability impact
HIGH Summary
ntpd in NTP before 4.2.8p7 and 4.3.x before 4.3.92 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (ntpd abort) by a large request data value, which triggers the ctl_getitem function to return a NULL 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.

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.
