Title:	Slackware: Security Advisory (SSA:2018-229-01)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'ntp' package(s) announced via the SSA:2018-229-01 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'ntp' package(s) announced via the SSA:2018-229-01 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: New ntp packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current to fix security issues. Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/ntp-4.2.8p12-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded. This release improves on one security fix in ntpd: LOW/MEDIUM: Sec 3012: Sybil vulnerability: ephemeral association attack While fixed in ntp-4.2.8p7 and with significant additional protections for this issue in 4.2.8p11, ntp-4.2.8p12 includes a fix for an edge case in the new noepeer support. Originally reported by Matt Van Gundy of Cisco. Edge-case hole reported by Martin Burnicki of Meinberg. And fixes another security issue in ntpq and ntpdc: LOW: Sec 3505: The openhost() function used during command-line hostname processing by ntpq and ntpdc can write beyond its buffer limit, which could allow an attacker to achieve code execution or escalate to higher privileges via a long string as the argument for an IPv4 or IPv6 command-line parameter. NOTE: It is unclear whether there are any common situations in which ntpq or ntpdc is used with a command line from an untrusted source. Reported by Fakhri Zulkifli. For more information, see: [links moved to references] (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Affected Software/OS: 'ntp' package(s) on Slackware 14.0, Slackware 14.1, Slackware 14.2, Slackware current. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.5 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
