Last Modified:

Summary
Details: 

CVE-2015-1798: The symmetric-key feature in the receive function in ntp_proto.c in ntpd in NTP 4.x before 4.2.8p2 requires a correct MAC only if the MAC field has a nonzero length, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof packets by omitting the MAC.

CVE-2015-1799: The symmetric-key feature in the receive function in ntp_proto.c in ntpd in NTP 3.x and 4.x before 4.2.8p2 performs state-variable updates upon receiving certain invalid packets, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to cause a denial of service (synchronization loss) by spoofing the source IP address of a peer.

Fix:

The NTP library has been updated to patch CVE-2015-1798 and CVE-2015-1799.

Recommendation:

Upgrade to patched version if applicable.
