Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.703222
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-3222-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'chrony' package(s) announced via the DSA-3222-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'chrony' package(s) announced via the DSA-3222-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Miroslav Lichvar of Red Hat discovered multiple vulnerabilities in chrony, an alternative NTP client and server:

CVE-2015-1821

Using particular address/subnet pairs when configuring access control would cause an invalid memory write. This could allow attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2015-1822

When allocating memory to save unacknowledged replies to authenticated command requests, a pointer would be left uninitialized, which could trigger an invalid memory write. This could allow attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2015-1853

When peering with other NTP hosts using authenticated symmetric association, the internal state variables would be updated before the MAC of the NTP messages was validated. This could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service by impeding synchronization between NTP peers.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 1.24-3.1+deb7u3.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 1.30-2.

We recommend that you upgrade your chrony packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'chrony' package(s) on Debian 7.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
