Category:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2014-0052)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'chrony' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0052 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'chrony' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0052 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Updated chrony package fixes security vulnerability: In the chrony control protocol some replies are significantly larger than their requests, which allows an attacker to use it in an amplification attack (CVE-2014-0021). Note: in the default configuration, cmdallow is restricted to localhost, so significant amplification is only possible if the configuration has been changed to allow cmdallow from other hosts. Even from hosts whose access is denied, minor amplification is still possible. Affected Software/OS: 'chrony' package(s) on Mageia 4. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
