Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.12.2014.2449.1
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-2449-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'ntp' package(s) announced via the USN-2449-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'ntp' package(s) announced via the USN-2449-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Neel Mehta discovered that NTP generated weak authentication keys. A remote
attacker could possibly use this issue to brute force the authentication
key and send requests if permitted by IP restrictions. (CVE-2014-9293)

Stephen Roettger discovered that NTP generated weak MD5 keys. A remote
attacker could possibly use this issue to brute force the MD5 key and spoof
a client or server. (CVE-2014-9294)

Stephen Roettger discovered that NTP contained buffer overflows in the
crypto_recv(), ctl_putdata() and configure() functions. In non-default
configurations, a remote attacker could use these issues to cause NTP to
crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary
code. The default compiler options for affected releases should reduce the
vulnerability to a denial of service. In addition, attackers would be
isolated by the NTP AppArmor profile. (CVE-2014-9295)

Stephen Roettger discovered that NTP incorrectly continued processing when
handling certain errors. (CVE-2014-9296)

Affected Software/OS:
'ntp' package(s) on Ubuntu 10.04, Ubuntu 12.04, Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 14.10.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
