Slackware Security Advisory - New ntp packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, 14.1, and -current to fix security issues.
37713e13555f43d3a710763934080ccf84cfd0f0cb9b3f3824fd084a85878b2cFreeBSD Security Advisory - The ntpd(8) daemon has a safety feature to prevent excessive stepping of the clock called the "panic threshold". If ever ntpd(8) determines the system clock is incorrect by more than this threshold, the daemon exits. There is an implementation error within the ntpd(8) implementation of this feature, which allows the system time be adjusted in certain circumstances. When ntpd(8) is started with the '-g' option specified, the system time will be corrected regardless of if the time offset exceeds the panic threshold (by default, 1000 seconds). The FreeBSD rc(8) subsystem allows specifying the '-g' option by either including '-g' in the ntpd_flags list or by enabling ntpd_sync_on_start in the system rc.conf(5) file. If at the moment ntpd(8) is restarted, an attacker can immediately respond to enough requests from enough sources trusted by the target, which is difficult and not common, there is a window of opportunity where the attacker can cause ntpd(8) to set the time to an arbitrary value.

In a non-default configuration, a remote authenticated attacker could possibly use this issue to cause NTP to crash, resulting in a denial of service. Miroslav Lichvar discovered that NTP incorrectly handled logconfig directives. In a non-default configuration, a remote authenticated attacker could possibly use this issue to cause NTP to crash, resulting in a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.

It was discovered that ntpd as a client did not correctly check timestamps in Kiss-of-Death packets. A remote attacker could use this flaw to send a crafted Kiss-of-Death packet to an ntpd client that would increase the client's polling interval value, and effectively disable synchronization with the server. It was found that ntpd did not correctly implement the threshold limitation for the '-g' option, which is used to set the time without any restrictions. A man-in-the-middle attacker able to intercept NTP traffic between a connecting client and an NTP server could use this flaw to force that client to make multiple steps larger than the panic threshold, effectively changing the time to an arbitrary value.
