Security Bulletin
Summary
The IBM Smart Analytics System 7600, 7700, 7710 and IBM PureData System for
Operational Analytics is affected by multiple vulnerabilities in Network
Time Protocol.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2014-9293
DESCRIPTION: Network Time Protocol (NTP) Project NTP daemon (ntpd) could
provide weaker than expected security, caused by the improper generation
of a key by the config_auth function when an auth key is not configured. A
remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using brute force techniques
to guess the generated key.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/99576 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2014-9294
DESCRIPTION: Network Time Protocol (NTP) Project NTP daemon (ntpd) could
provide weaker than expected security, caused by the use of a weak RNG
seed by ntp-keygen.c. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability
using brute force techniques to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/99577 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2014-9295
DESCRIPTION: Network Time Protocol (NTP) Project NTP daemon (ntpd) is
vulnerable to multiple stack-based buffer overflows, caused by improper
bounds checking by ntpd. By sending specially-crafted packets, a remote
attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system
or cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/99578 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P)
CVEID: CVE-2014-9296
DESCRIPTION: Network Time Protocol (NTP) Project NTP daemon (ntpd) is
vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the continual execution of the
receive function after detecting an error. By sending specially-crafted
packets, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a
denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/99579 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
CVEID: CVE-2014-9297
DESCRIPTION: Network Time Protocol (NTP) Project NTP daemon (ntpd) could
allow a remote attacker to conduct spoofing attacks, caused by insufficient
entropy in PRNG. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to spoof
the IPv6 address ::1 to bypass ACLs and launch further attacks on the system.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/100004 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2014-9298
DESCRIPTION: Network Time Protocol (NTP) Project NTP daemon (ntpd) could
allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the
improper validation of the length value in extension field pointers. An
attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/100005 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2015-1799
DESCRIPTION: Network Time Protocol (NTP) Project NTP daemon (ntpd)
is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error when using
symmetric key authentication. By sending specially-crafted packets to both
peering hosts, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to prevent
synchronization.
CVSS Base Score: 5.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/102052 for the
current score
