Description:
Multiple vulnerabilities were reported in ntp. A remote user can view files on the target system. A remote user can cause denial of service conditions on the target system. A remote user can bypass authentication. A remote user can modify the time on the target system.
A remote user can trigger a memory leak in CRYPTO_ASSOC [CVE-2015-7701].
A remote user can send AutoKey messages with a specially crafted AutoKey data packet length value to cause denial of service conditions [CVE-2015-7691, CVE-2015-7692, CVE-2015-7702].
A remote user can overwrite "pidfile" and "driftfile" configuration file directives [CVE-2015-7703].
A remote user can supply specially crafted data to cause denial of service conditions [CVE-2015-7704, CVE-2015-7705].
A remote user can trigger a mode 7 loop counter integer overflow in ntpd [CVE-2015-7848].
A remote user can trigger a use-after-free memory error in the processing of trusted keys [CVE-2015-7849].
A remote user can exploit a logfile-keyfile configuration flaw to cause denial of service conditions [CVE-2015-7850].
A remote user can exploit a directory traversal flaw in ntpd saveconfig [CVE-2015-7851].
A remote user can trigger a memory corruption error in the ntpq atoascii() function [CVE-2015-7852].
A remote user can supply specially crafted reference clock data to trigger a buffer overflow [CVE-2015-7853].
A remote user can supply a specially crafted password value to trigger a memory corruption error [CVE-2015-7854].
A remote user can send a specially crafted control packet message to exploit a flaw in decodenetnum() to cause denial of service conditions [CVE-2015-7855].
A remote user can exploit a flaw in the crypto-NAK() function to bypass symmetric association authentication [CVE-2015-7871].
Cisco ASIG, IDA, Cisco TALOS, Tenable, RedHat, OpenVMS, and Boston University reported these vulnerabilities.
