./net/chrony, Daemon for maintaining the accuracy of computer clocks

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]


Branch: pkgsrc-2018Q3, Version: 3.4, Package name: chrony-3.4, Maintainer: hannken

Chrony is a pair of programs for maintaining the accuracy of computer
clocks.

The reference time can be derived from either Network Time Protocol
(NTP) servers (preferred), or wristwatch-and-keyboard (via chronyc).
The main source of information about the Network Time Protocol is
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp.

It is designed so that it can work on computers which only have
intermittent access to reference sources, for example computers which
use a dial-up account to access the Internet. Of course, it will work
on computers with permanent connections too.

Chronyd can also operate as an RFC1305-compatible NTP server and peer.

   20 Jan 2016: chrony-2.2.1 and chrony-1.31.2 released
   Security fixes

       Restrict authentication of NTP server/peer to specified key (CVE-2016-1567)

   CVE-2016-1567: Impersonation between authenticated peers

   When a server/peer was specified with a key number to enable authentication \ 
with a symmetric key, packets received from the server/peer were accepted if \ 
they were authenticated with any of the keys contained in the key file and not \ 
just the specified key.

   This allowed an attacker who knew one key of a client/peer to modify packets \ 
from its servers/peers that were authenticated with other keys in a \ 
man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack. For example, in a network where each NTP \ 
association had a separate key and all hosts had only keys they needed, a client \ 
of a server could not attack other clients of the server, but it could attack \ 
the server and also attack its own clients (i.e. modify packets from other \ 
servers).

   To not allow the server/peer to be authenticated with other keys, the \ 
authentication test was extended to check if the key ID in the received packet \ 
is equal to the configured key number. As a consequence, it’s no longer \ 
possible to authenticate two peers to each other with two different keys, both \ 
peers have to be configured to use the same key.

   This issue was discovered by Matt Street of Cisco ASIG.
