Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.63242
Category:FreeBSD Local Security Checks
Title:FreeBSD Security Advisory (FreeBSD-SA-09:03.ntpd.asc)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update to the system; as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-09:03.ntpd.asc
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to the system
as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-09:03.ntpd.asc

Vulnerability Insight:
The ntpd daemon is an implementation of the Network Time Protocol
(NTP) used to synchronize the time of a computer system to a reference
time source.

FreeBSD includes software from the OpenSSL Project. The OpenSSL
Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust,
commercial-grade, full-featured Open Source toolkit implementing the
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1)
protocols as well as a full-strength general purpose cryptography
library.

The EVP_VerifyFinal() function from OpenSSL is used to determine if a
digital signature is valid. When ntpd(8) is set to cryptographically
authenticate NTP data it incorrectly checks the return value from
EVP_VerifyFinal().

Solution:
Upgrade your system to the appropriate stable release
or security branch dated after the correction date.
