+ <background>
+ <p>
+ NTP contains the client and daemon implementations for the Network Time
+ Protocol.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in the programs included in
+ the NTP package:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Apple Product Security reported a
+ boundary error in the cookedprint() function in ntpq/ntpq.c, possibly
+ leading to a stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-2009-0159).</li>
+ <li>Chris Ries of CMU reported a boundary error within the
+ crypto_recv() function in ntpd/ntp_crypto.c, possibly leading to a
+ stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-2009-1252).</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker might send a specially crafted package to a machine
+ running ntpd, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary
+ code with the privileges of the user running the daemon, or a Denial of
+ Service. NOTE: Successful exploitation requires the "autokey" feature
+ to be enabled. This feature is only available if NTP was built with the
+ 'ssl' USE flag.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Furthermore, a remote attacker could entice a user into connecting to a
+ malicious server using ntpq, possibly resulting in the remote execution
+ of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the
+ application, or a Denial of Service.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ You can protect against CVE-2009-1252 by disabling the 'ssl' USE flag
+ and recompiling NTP.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All NTP users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-misc/ntp-4.2.4_p7"</code>
+ </resolution>
