Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the NTP suite :

CVE-2016-9311: Trap crash, Reported by Matthew Van Gundy of Cisco ASIG.

CVE-2016-9310: Mode 6 unauthenticated trap information disclosure and DDoS vector. Reported by Matthew Van Gundy of Cisco ASIG.

CVE-2016-7427: Broadcast Mode Replay Prevention DoS. Reported by Matthew Van Gundy of Cisco ASIG.

CVE-2016-7428: Broadcast Mode Poll Interval Enforcement DoS. Reported by Matthew Van Gundy of Cisco ASIG.

CVE-2016-7431: Regression: 010-origin: Zero Origin Timestamp Bypass.
Reported by Sharon Goldberg and Aanchal Malhotra of Boston University.

CVE-2016-7434: NULL pointer dereference in
_IO_str_init_static_internal(). Reported by Magnus Stubman.

CVE-2016-7426: Client rate limiting and server responses. Reported by Miroslav Lichvar of Red Hat.

CVE-2016-7433: Reboot sync calculation problem. Reported independently by Brian Utterback of Oracle, and by Sharon Goldberg and Aanchal Malhotra of Boston University. Impact : A remote attacker who can send a specially crafted packet to cause a NULL pointer dereference that will crash ntpd, resulting in a Denial of Service. [CVE-2016-9311]

An exploitable configuration modification vulnerability exists in the control mode (mode 6) functionality of ntpd. If, against long-standing BCP recommendations, 'restrict default noquery ...' is not specified, a specially crafted control mode packet can set ntpd traps, providing information disclosure and DDoS amplification, and unset ntpd traps, disabling legitimate monitoring by an attacker from remote.
[CVE-2016-9310]

An attacker with access to the NTP broadcast domain can periodically inject specially crafted broadcast mode NTP packets into the broadcast domain which, while being logged by ntpd, can cause ntpd to reject broadcast mode packets from legitimate NTP broadcast servers.
[CVE-2016-7427]

An attacker with access to the NTP broadcast domain can send specially crafted broadcast mode NTP packets to the broadcast domain which, while being logged by ntpd, will cause ntpd to reject broadcast mode packets from legitimate NTP broadcast servers. [CVE-2016-7428]

Origin timestamp problems were fixed in ntp 4.2.8p6. However, subsequent timestamp validation checks introduced a regression in the handling of some Zero origin timestamp checks. [CVE-2016-7431]

If ntpd is configured to allow mrulist query requests from a server that sends a crafted malicious packet, ntpd will crash on receipt of that crafted malicious mrulist query packet. [CVE-2016-7434]

An attacker who knows the sources (e.g., from an IPv4 refid in server response) and knows the system is (mis)configured in this way can periodically send packets with spoofed source address to keep the rate limiting activated and prevent ntpd from accepting valid responses from its sources. [CVE-2016-7426]

Ntp Bug 2085 described a condition where the root delay was included twice, causing the jitter value to be higher than expected. Due to a misinterpretation of a small-print variable in The Book, the fix for this problem was incorrect, resulting in a root distance that did not include the peer dispersion. The calculations and formulas have been reviewed and reconciled, and the code has been updated accordingly.
[CVE-2016-7433]

The version of the remote NTP server is 4.x prior to 4.2.8p9. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists when rate     limiting is configured for all associations, the limits     also being applied to responses received from the     configured sources. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this, by periodically sending spoofed     packets, to keep rate limiting active, resulting in     valid responses not being accepted by ntpd from its     sources. (CVE-2016-7426)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the     broadcast mode replay prevention functionality. An     unauthenticated, adjacent attacker can exploit this, via     specially crafted broadcast mode NTP packets     periodically injected into the broadcast domain, to     cause ntpd to reject broadcast mode packets from     legitimate NTP broadcast servers. (CVE-2016-7427)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the     broadcast mode poll interval functionality. An     unauthenticated, adjacent attacker can exploit this, via     specially crafted broadcast mode NTP packets, to cause     ntpd to reject packets from a legitimate NTP broadcast     server. (CVE-2016-7428)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists when receiving     server responses on sockets that correspond to different     interfaces than what were used in the request. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by     sending repeated requests using specially crafted     packets with spoofed source addresses, to cause ntpd     to select the incorrect interface for the source, which     prevents it from sending new requests until the     interface list is refreshed. This eventually results in     preventing ntpd from synchronizing with the source.
    (CVE-2016-7429)

  - A flaw exists that allows packets with an origin     timestamp of zero to bypass security checks. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     spoof arbitrary content. (CVE-2016-7431)

  - A flaw exists due to the root delay being included     twice, which may result in the jitter value being higher     than expected. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can     exploit this to cause a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2016-7433)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists when handling     specially crafted mrulist query packets that allows an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to crash ntpd.
    (CVE-2016-7434)

  - A flaw exists in the control mode (mode 6) functionality     when handling specially crafted control mode packets. An     unauthenticated, adjacent attacker can exploit this to     set or disable ntpd traps, resulting in the disclosure     of potentially sensitive information, disabling of     legitimate monitoring, or DDoS amplification.
    (CVE-2016-9310)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the     report_event() function within file ntpd/ntp_control.c     when the trap service handles certain peer events. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via     a specially crafted packet, to cause a denial of service     condition. (CVE-2016-9311)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists when handling     oversize UDP packets that allows an unauthenticated,     remote attacker to crash ntpd. Note that this     vulnerability only affects Windows versions.
    (CVE-2016-9312)
