Description

NTP 4.x before 4.2.8p6 and 4.3.x before 4.3.90 do not verify peer associations of symmetric keys when authenticating packets, which might allow remote attackers to conduct impersonation attacks via an arbitrary trusted key, aka a "skeleton key."

Solution(s)

  • suse-upgrade-ntp
  • suse-upgrade-ntp-doc
  • suse-upgrade-yast2-ntp-client
  • suse-upgrade-yast2-ntp-client-devel-doc

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
