"Several vulnerabilities were discovered in the ntp package, an
implementation of the Network Time Protocol.
CVE-2014-9293
ntpd generated a weak key for its internal use, with full
administrative privileges. Attackers could use this key to reconfigure
ntpd (or to exploit other vulnerabilities).
CVE-2014-9294
The ntp-keygen utility generated weak MD5 keys with insufficient
entropy.
CVE-2014-9295
ntpd had several buffer overflows (both on the stack and in the data
section), allowing remote authenticated attackers to crash ntpd or
potentially execute arbitrary code.
CVE-2014-9296
The general packet processing function in ntpd did not handle an error
case correctly.
The default ntpd configuration in Debian restricts access to localhost
(and possible the adjacent network in case of IPv6).
Keys explicitly generated by 'ntp-keygen -M' should be regenerated.
For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been
fixed in version 4.2.6.p2+dfsg-1+deb6u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your heirloom-mailx packages.
Thanks to the Florian Weimer for the Red Hat security update.
NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description
block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted
to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without
introducing additional issues."
