It was discovered that ntpd as a client did not correctly check the originate timestamp in received packets. A remote attacker could use this flaw to send a crafted packet to an ntpd client that would effectively disable synchronization with the server, or push arbitrary offset/delay measurements to modify the time on the client.
(CVE-2015-8138)

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way ntpd processed 'ntpdc reslist' commands that queried restriction lists with a large amount of entries. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the ntpd process. (CVE-2015-7977)

It was found that NTP does not verify peer associations of symmetric keys when authenticating packets, which might allow remote attackers to conduct impersonation attacks via an arbitrary trusted key.
(CVE-2015-7974)

A stack-based buffer overflow was found in the way ntpd processed 'ntpdc reslist' commands that queried restriction lists with a large amount of entries. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the ntpd process. (CVE-2015-7978)

It was found that when NTP is configured in broadcast mode, an off-path attacker could broadcast packets with bad authentication (wrong key, mismatched key, incorrect MAC, etc) to all clients. The clients, upon receiving the malformed packets, would break the association with the broadcast server. This could cause the time on affected clients to become out of sync over a longer period of time.
(CVE-2015-7979)

A flaw was found in the way the ntpq client certain processed incoming packets in a loop in the getresponse() function. A remote attacker could potentially use this flaw to crash an ntpq client instance.
(CVE-2015-8158)

A flaw was found in ntpd that allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (ephemeral-association demobilization) by sending a spoofed crypto-NAK packet with incorrect authentication data at a certain time. (CVE-2016-4953)

(Updated 2016-10-18: CVE-2016-4953 was fixed in this release but was not previously part of this errata.)

The version of NTP installed on the remote AIX host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw exists in the receive() function due to the use     of authenticated broadcast mode. A man-in-the-middle     attacker can exploit this to conduct a replay attack.
    (CVE-2015-7973)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in ntp_request.c     that is triggered when handling ntpdc relist commands.
    A remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially     crafted request, to crash the service, resulting in a     denial of service condition. (CVE-2015-7977)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in authenticated broadcast     mode. A remote attacker can exploit this, via specially     crafted packets, to cause a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2015-7979)

  - A flaw exists in ntpq and ntpdc that allows a remote     attacker to disclose sensitive information in     timestamps. (CVE-2015-8139)

  - A flaw exists in the ntpq protocol that is triggered     during the handling of an improper sequence of numbers.
    A man-in-the-middle attacker can exploit this to conduct     a replay attack. (CVE-2015-8140)

  - A flaw exists in the ntpq client that is triggered when     handling packets that cause a loop in the getresponse()     function. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause an     infinite loop, resulting in a denial of service     condition. (CVE-2015-8158)

According to its self-reported version number, the remote pfSense install is prior to 2.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

New ntp packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, 14.1, and -current to fix security issues.

CVE-2015-1798: The symmetric-key feature in the receive function in ntp_proto.c in ntpd in NTP required a correct MAC only if the MAC field has a nonzero length, which made it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof packets by omitting the MAC (bsc#924202).

CVE-2015-1799: The symmetric-key feature in the receive function in ntp_proto.c in ntpd in NTP performed state-variable updates upon receiving certain invalid packets, which made it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to cause a denial of service (synchronization loss) by spoofing the source IP address of a peer (bsc#924202).

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
