CVE-2014-9295

Múltiples desbordamientos de buffer en ntpd en NTP anterior a 4.2.8, permite a atacantes remotos la ejecución de código arbitrario mediante un paquete manipulado, relacionado con (1) la función crypto_recv cuando se utiliza la característica Autokey Authentication, (2) la función ctl_putdata y (3) la función de configuración.

Multiple buffer overflow flaws were discovered in ntpd's crypto_recv(), ctl_putdata(), and configure() functions. A remote attacker could use either of these flaws to send a specially crafted request packet that could crash ntpd or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the ntp user. Note: the crypto_recv() flaw requires non default configurations to be active, while the ctl_putdata() flaw, by default, can only be exploited via local attackers, and the configure() flaw requires additional authentication to exploit.
