Multiple Cisco products incorporate a version of the Network Time Protocol daemon (ntpd) package. Versions of this package are affected by one or more vulnerabilities that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition or modify the time being advertised by a device acting as a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.
On November 21, 2016, the NTP Consortium of the Network Time Foundation released a security notice that details ten issues regarding DoS vulnerabilities and logic issues that may allow an attacker to shift a system's time.
The new vulnerabilities disclosed in this document are as follows:
- Network Time Protocol Trap Service Denial of Service Vulnerability
- Network Time Protocol Broadcast Mode Denial of Service Vulnerability
- Network Time Protocol Broadcast Mode Denial of Service Vulnerability
- Network Time Protocol Insufficient Resource Pool Denial of Service Vulnerability
- Network Time Protocol Configuration Modification Denial of Service Vulnerability
- Network Time Protocol mrulist Query Requests Denial of Service Vulnerability
- Network Time Protocol Multiple Binds to the Same Port Vulnerability
- Network Time Protocol Rate Limiting Denial of Service Vulnerability
As well as:Additional details about each vulnerability are in the NTP Consortium Security Notice.
- Regression of CVE-2015-8138
- Network Time Protocol Reboot sync calculation problem
Workarounds that address one or more of these vulnerabilities may be available and are documented in the Cisco bug for each affected product.
