[security-alerts] FW: NTP ntpq "cookedprint()" Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
----------------------------------------------------------------------
TITLE:
NTP ntpq "cookedprint()" Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34608
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34608/
DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in NTP, which can be exploited by
malicious people to potentially compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
"cookedprint()" function in ntpq/ntpq.c. This can be exploited to
cause a stack-based buffer overflow with two bytes via a specially
crafted server response.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code, but
requires that the user is tricked into querying a malicious time
server with ntpq.
The vulnerability is reported in version 4.2.4p6. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Fixed in version 4.2.4p7-RC2.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Apple Product Security
