Network Time Protocol ntpq and ntpdc Origin Timestamp Disclosure Vulnerability

CERT VU357792 Summary To prevent off-path attackers from impersonating legitimate peers, clients require that the origin timestamp in a received response packet match the transmit timestamp from its last request to a given peer. Under assumption that only the recipient of the request packet will...

Network Time Protocol Origin Timestamp Check Impersonation Vulnerability

CERT VU357792 Summary To distinguish legitimate peer responses from forgeries, a client attempts to verify a response packet by ensuring that the origin timestamp in an incoming packet matches the transmit timestamp it transmitted in its last request. A logic error exists that allows packets with...

Network Time Protocol ntpq Special Character Filtering Vulnerability

Summary The ntpq saveconfig command does not do adequate filtering of special characters from the supplied filename. Only back slash and forward slash are currently filtered out. There are other special characters that are allowed in the filename which can cause issues during globbing. In additio...
