Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.63149
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-1702-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'ntp' package(s) announced via the DSA-1702-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'ntp' package(s) announced via the DSA-1702-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
It has been discovered that NTP, an implementation of the Network Time Protocol, does not properly check the result of an OpenSSL function for verifying cryptographic signatures, which may ultimately lead to the acceptance of unauthenticated time information. (Note that cryptographic authentication of time servers is often not enabled in the first place.)

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 4.2.2.p4+dfsg-2etch1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 4.2.4p4+dfsg-8.

The testing distribution (lenny) will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your ntp package.

Affected Software/OS:
'ntp' package(s) on Debian 4.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
5.0
