Category:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2014-0541)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'ntp' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0541 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'ntp' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0541 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Updated ntp packages fix security vulnerabilities: If no authentication key is defined in the ntp.conf file, a cryptographically-weak default key is generated (CVE-2014-9293). ntp-keygen before 4.2.7p230 uses a non-cryptographic random number generator with a weak seed to generate symmetric keys (CVE-2014-9294). A remote unauthenticated attacker may craft special packets that trigger buffer overflows in the ntpd functions crypto_recv() (when using autokey authentication), ctl_putdata(), and configure(). The resulting buffer overflows may be exploited to allow arbitrary malicious code to be executed with the privilege of the ntpd process (CVE-2014-9295). A section of code in ntpd handling a rare error is missing a return statement, therefore processing did not stop when the error was encountered. This situation may be exploitable by an attacker (CVE-2014-9296). The ntp package has been patched to fix these issues. Affected Software/OS: 'ntp' package(s) on Mageia 4. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.5 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
