Miroslav Lichvar of Red Hat discovered multiple vulnerabilities in chrony, an alternative NTP client and server: CVE-2015-1821 Using particular address/subnet pairs when configuring access control would cause an invalid memory write. This could allow attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code. CVE-2015-1822 When allocating memory to save unacknowledged replies to authenticated command requests, a pointer would be left uninitialized, which could trigger an invalid memory write. This could allow attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code. CVE-2015-1853 When peering with other NTP hosts using authenticated symmetric association, the internal state variables would be updated before the MAC of the NTP messages was validated. This could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service by impeding synchronization between NTP peers. For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 1.24-3.1+deb7u3. For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 1.30-2. We recommend that you upgrade your chrony packages.
