CVE-2016-7433

NTP before 4.2.8p9 does not properly perform the initial sync calculations, which allows remote attackers to unspecified impact via unknown vectors, related to a "root distance that did not include the peer dispersion."

These are all security issues fixed in the ntp-4.2.8p9-1.1 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

This update for ntp fixes the following issues:

• Simplify ntpd's search for its own executable to prevent AppArmor warnings (bsc#956365).

Security issues fixed (update to 4.2.8p9):

• CVE-2016-9311, CVE-2016-9310, bsc#1011377: Mode 6 unauthenticated trap information disclosure and DDoS vector.
• CVE-2016-7427, bsc#1011390: Broadcast Mode Replay Prevention DoS.
• CVE-2016-7428, bsc#1011417: Broadcast Mode Poll Interval Enforcement DoS.
• CVE-2016-7431, bsc#1011395: Regression: 010-origin: Zero Origin Timestamp Bypass.
• CVE-2016-7434, bsc#1011398: Null pointer dereference in _IO_str_init_static_internal().
• CVE-2016-7429, bsc#1011404: Interface selection attack.
• CVE-2016-7426, bsc#1011406: Client rate limiting and server responses.
• CVE-2016-7433, bsc#1011411: Reboot sync calculation problem.
• CVE-2015-5219: An endless loop due to incorrect precision to double conversion (bsc#943216).
• CVE-2015-8140: ntpq vulnerable to replay attacks.
• CVE-2015-8139: Origin Leak: ntpq and ntpdc, disclose origin.
• CVE-2015-5219: An endless loop due to incorrect precision to double conversion (bsc#943216).

Non-security issues fixed:

• Fix a spurious error message.
• Other bugfixes, see /usr/share/doc/packages/ntp/ChangeLog.
• Fix a regression in 'trap' (bsc#981252).
• Reduce the number of netlink groups to listen on for changes to the local network setup (bsc#992606).
• Fix segfault in 'sntp -a' (bsc#1009434).
• Silence an OpenSSL version warning (bsc#992038).
• Make the resolver task change user and group IDs to the same values as the main task. (bsc#988028)
