Title:	Slackware: Security Advisory (SSA:2014-044-02)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'ntp' package(s) announced via the SSA:2014-044-02 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'ntp' package(s) announced via the SSA:2014-044-02 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: New ntp packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, 14.1, and -current to fix a security issue. Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/ntp-4.2.6p5-i486-5_slack14.1.txz: Rebuilt. All stable versions of NTP remain vulnerable to a remote attack where the 'ntpdc -c monlist' command can be used to amplify network traffic as part of a denial of service attack. By default, Slackware is not vulnerable since it includes 'noquery' as a default restriction. However, it is vulnerable if this restriction is removed. To help mitigate this flaw, 'disable monitor' has been added to the default ntp.conf (which will disable the monlist command even if other queries are allowed), and the default restrictions have been extended to IPv6 as well. All users of the NTP daemon should make sure that their ntp.conf contains 'disable monitor' to prevent misuse of the NTP service. The new ntp.conf file will be installed as /etc/ntp.conf.new with a package upgrade, but the changes will need to be merged into any existing ntp.conf file by the admin. For more information, see: [links moved to references] (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Affected Software/OS: 'ntp' package(s) on Slackware 13.0, Slackware 13.1, Slackware 13.37, Slackware 14.0, Slackware 14.1, Slackware current. 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
