Daily threat assessment 25JAN2016 (ntp client vuln)

Unread post by mikeshinn »

This report is a daily analysis of all published vulnerabilities in any product, weaknesses in technologies, exploits Internet wide, current internet threats associated with platforms and products our customer use, and if any action is required to protect their assets from these these vulnerabilities, weaknesses and exploits depending on the Atomicorp product they are using.

Please see this forum post for an explanation of the categories used in this report.

Note: CVEs are sometimes created after a vulnerability is published (sometimes far after it has been made public). When CVEs are referenced, it is because a CVE was created today, not because an issue was resolved today, and it is included here for reference.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2016-0063-01 - NTP "de-sync" attack (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. Install patch from vendor, or restrict response packets via ASL firewall except from trusted NTP servers)
