Descriptions

NTP 4.2.4 before 4.2.4p5 and 4.2.5 before 4.2.5p150 does not properly check the return value from the OpenSSL EVP_VerifyFinal function, which allows remote attackers to bypass validation of the certificate chain via a malformed SSL/TLS signature for DSA and ECDSA keys, a similar vulnerability to CVE-2008-5077.

NTP versiones 4.2.4 anteriores a 4.2.4p5 y versiones 4.2.5 anteriores a 4.2.5p150, no comprueba apropiadamente el valor devuelto de la funciĆ³n EVP_VerifyFinal de OpenSSL, que permite a los atacantes remotos omitir la comprobaciĆ³n de la cadena de certificados por medio de una firma de SSL/TLS malformada para las claves DSA y ECDSA, una vulnerabilidad similar a CVE-2008-5077.
