It was discovered that Chrony, a versatile implementation of the Network Time Protocol, did not verify peer associations of symmetric keys when authenticating packets, which might allow remote attackers to conduct impersonation attacks via an arbitrary trusted key, aka a ‘skeleton key.’

This update also resolves Debian bug #568492.

For Debian 7 ‘Wheezy’, these problems have been fixed in version 1.24-3.1+deb7u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your chrony packages.

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.
