CVE-2016-2518

La función MATCH_ASSOC en NTP en versiones anteriores 4.2.8p9 y 4.3.x en versiones anteriores a 4.3.92 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una referencia fuera de los límites a través de una solicitud addpeer con un valor hmode grande.

An out-of-bounds access flaw was found in the way ntpd processed certain packets. An authenticated attacker could use a crafted packet to create a peer association with hmode of 7 and larger, which could potentially (although highly unlikely) cause ntpd to crash.

Aanchal Malhotra discovered that NTP incorrectly handled authenticated broadcast mode. A remote attacker could use this issue to perform a replay attack. Matt Street discovered that NTP incorrectly verified peer associations of symmetric keys. A remote attacker could use this issue to perform an impersonation attack. Jonathan Gardner discovered that the NTP ntpq utility incorrectly handled memory. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause ntpq to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Various other issues were also addressed.
