CVE-2014-9294

TITLE

NTP Project Network Time Protocol daemon (ntpd) contains multiple vulnerabilities (Updated)

DESCRIPTION

util/ntp-keygen.c in ntp-keygen in NTP before 4.2.7p230 uses a weak RNG seed, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via a brute-force attack. The NTP Project ntpd version 4.2.7 and pervious versions contain several vulnerabilities. ntp-keygen prior to version 4.2.7p230 also uses a non-cryptographic random number generator when generating symmetric keys. These vulnerabilities may affect ntpd acting as a server or client. Supplementary information : CWE Vulnerability type by CWE-338: Use of Cryptographically Weak Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) Has been identified. http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/338.htmlA brute force attack by a third party (Brute force attack) May break the cryptographic protection mechanism. NTP is prone to a predictable random number generator weakness. An attacker can exploit this issue to guess generated MD5 keys that could then be used to spoof an NTP client or server.

II. [CVE-2014-9293] The ntp-keygen(8) utility is also affected by a similar issue. [CVE-2014-9294] When Autokey Authentication is enabled, for example if ntp.conf(5) contains a 'crypto pw' directive, a remote attacker can send a carefully crafted packet that can overflow a stack buffer. [CVE-2014-9296] III. Impact The NTP protocol uses keys to implement authentication. The weak seeding of the pseudo-random number generator makes it easier for an attacker to brute-force keys, and thus may broadcast incorrect time stamps or masquerade as another time server. [CVE-2014-9295] IV. Workaround No workaround is available, but systems not running ntpd(8) are not affected. Because the issue may lead to remote root compromise, the FreeBSD Security Team recommends system administrators to firewall NTP ports, namely tcp/123 and udp/123 when it is not clear that all systems have been patched or have ntpd(8) stopped. V. Perform one of the following: 1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to a supported FreeBSD stable or release / security branch (releng) dated after the correction date. 2) To update your vulnerable system via a binary patch: Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the i386 or amd64 platforms can be updated via the freebsd-update(8) utility: # freebsd-update fetch # freebsd-update install 3) To update your vulnerable system via a source code patch: The following patches have been verified to apply to the applicable FreeBSD release branches. a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the detached PGP signature using your PGP utility. # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-14:31/ntp.patch # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-14:31/ntp.patch.asc # gpg --verify ntp.patch.asc b) Apply the patch. Execute the following commands as root: # cd /usr/src # patch < /path/to/patch c) Recompile the operating system using buildworld and installworld as described in <URL:https://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/makeworld.html>. Restart the ntpd(8) daemons, or reboot the system. VI. Correction details The following list contains the correction revision numbers for each affected branch.

Description: The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize a computer's time with a referenced time source. Multiple buffer overflow flaws were discovered in ntpd's crypto_recv(), ctl_putdata(), and configure() functions. A remote attacker could use either of these flaws to send a specially crafted request packet that could crash ntpd or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the ntp user. Note: the crypto_recv() flaw requires non-default configurations to be active, while the ctl_putdata() flaw, by default, can only be exploited via local attackers, and the configure() flaw requires additional authentication to exploit. (CVE-2014-9295) It was found that ntpd automatically generated weak keys for its internal use if no ntpdc request authentication key was specified in the ntp.conf configuration file. A remote attacker able to match the configured IP restrictions could guess the generated key, and possibly use it to send ntpdc query or configuration requests. (CVE-2014-9293) It was found that ntp-keygen used a weak method for generating MD5 keys. Note: it is recommended to regenerate any MD5 keys that had explicitly been generated with ntp-keygen; the default installation does not contain such keys). (CVE-2014-9294) A missing return statement in the receive() function could potentially allow a remote attacker to bypass NTP's authentication mechanism. (CVE-2014-9296) All ntp users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which contains backported patches to resolve these issues. After installing the update, the ntpd daemon will restart automatically. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
