CVE-2018-7183

Buffer overflow in the decodearr function in ntpq in ntp 4.2.8p6 through 4.2.8p10 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging an ntpq query and sending a response with a crafted array.

This release addresses five security issues in ntpd for Mageia 6:

LOW/MEDIUM: Sec 3012 / CVE-2016-1549 / VU#961909: Sybil vulnerability: ephemeral association attack While fixed in ntp-4.2.8p7, there are significant additional protections for this issue in 4.2.8p11. Reported by Matt Van Gundy of Cisco.

INFO/MEDIUM: Sec 3412 / CVE-2018-7182 / VU#961909: ctl_getitem(): buffer read overrun leads to undefined behavior and information leak Reported by Yihan Lian of Qihoo 360.

LOW: Sec 3415 / CVE-2018-7170 / VU#961909: Multiple authenticated ephemeral associations. Reported on the questions@ list.

LOW: Sec 3453 / CVE-2018-7184 / VU#961909: Interleaved symmetric mode cannot recover from bad state. Reported by Miroslav Lichvar of Red Hat.

LOW/MEDIUM: Sec 3454 / CVE-2018-7185 / VU#961909: Unauthenticated packet can reset authenticated interleaved association. Reported by Miroslav Lichvar of Red Hat.

one security issue in ntpq: MEDIUM: Sec 3414 / CVE-2018-7183 / VU#961909: ntpq:decodearr() can write beyond its buffer limit. Reported by Michael Macnair of Thales-esecurity.com.

Yihan Lian discovered that NTP incorrectly handled certain malformed mode 6 packets. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause ntpd to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 17.10 and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2018-7182)

Michael Macnair discovered that NTP incorrectly handled certain responses. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-7183)

Miroslav Lichvar discovered that NTP incorrectly handled certain zero-origin timestamps. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 17.10 and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2018-7184)
