CVE-2015-5219 – ntp: infinite loop in sntp processing crafted packet

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2015-5219

The ULOGTOD function in ntp.d in SNTP before 4.2.7p366 does not properly perform type conversions from a precision value to a double, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted NTP packet. La función ULOGTOD en el archivo ntp.d en SNTP en versiones anteriores a la 4.2.7p366 no realiza apropiadamente las conversiones de tipo de un valor de precisión a uno doble, lo que permite a los atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (bucle infinito) por medio de un paquete NTP creado. It was discovered that the sntp utility could become unresponsive due to being caught in an infinite loop when processing a crafted NTP packet. • http://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/ntp_advisory4.asc http://bk1.ntp.org/ntp-dev/?PAGE=patch&REV=51786731Gr4-NOrTBC_a_uXO4wuGhg http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2015-November/170926.html http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2015-October/169167.html http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2015-September/166992.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-05/msg00048.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-updates&#x • CWE-704: Incorrect Type Conversion or Cast CWE-835: Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop') •
