Summary: Updated ntp packages to correct a security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64 3. Description: The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize a computer's time with a referenced time source. A flaw was discovered in the way the ntpd daemon checked the return value of the OpenSSL EVP_VerifyFinal function. On systems using NTPv4 authentication, this could lead to an incorrect verification of cryptographic signatures, allowing time-spoofing attacks. (CVE-2009-0021) Note: This issue only affects systems that have enabled NTP authentication. By default, NTP authentication is not enabled. All ntp users are advised to upgrade to the updated packages, which contain a backported patch to resolve this issue. After installing the update, the ntpd daemon will restart automatically. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259 5.
