This network time protocol server ntp was updated to 4.2.8p6 to fix the following issues:

Also yast2-ntp-client was updated to match some sntp syntax changes. (bsc#937837)

Major functional changes:

• The 'sntp' commandline tool changed its option handling in a major way.
• 'controlkey 1' is added during update to ntp.conf to allow sntp to work.
• The local clock is being disabled during update.
• ntpd is no longer running chrooted.

Other functional changes:

• ntp-signd is installed.
• 'enable mode7' can be added to the configuration to allow ntdpc to work as compatibility mode option.
• 'kod' was removed from the default restrictions.
• SHA1 keys are used by default instead of MD5 keys.

These security issues were fixed:

• CVE-2015-5219: An endless loop due to incorrect precision to double conversion (bsc#943216).
• CVE-2015-8158: Fixed potential infinite loop in ntpq (bsc#962966).

• CVE-2015-7975: nextvar() missing length check (bsc#962988).
• CVE-2015-7974: Skeleton Key: Missing key check allows impersonation between authenticated peers (bsc#962960).
• CVE-2015-7973: Replay attack on authenticated broadcast mode (bsc#962995).
• CVE-2015-8140: ntpq vulnerable to replay attacks (bsc#962994).
• CVE-2015-8139: Origin Leak: ntpq and ntpdc, disclose origin (bsc#962997).
• CVE-2015-5300: MITM attacker could have forced ntpd to make a step larger than the panic threshold (bsc#951629).
• CVE-2015-7871: NAK to the Future: Symmetric association authentication bypass via crypto-NAK (bsc#951608).
• CVE-2015-7855: decodenetnum() will ASSERT botch instead of returning FAIL on some bogus values (bsc#951608).
• CVE-2015-7854: Password Length Memory Corruption Vulnerability (bsc#951608).
• CVE-2015-7853: Invalid length data provided by a custom refclock driver could cause a buffer overflow (bsc#951608).

• CVE-2015-7701: Slow memory leak in CRYPTO_ASSOC (bsc#951608).
• CVE-2015-7703: configuration directives 'pidfile' and 'driftfile' should only be allowed locally (bsc#951608).
• CVE-2015-7704, CVE-2015-7705: Clients that receive a KoD should validate the origin timestamp field (bsc#951608).
• CVE-2015-7691, CVE-2015-7692, CVE-2015-7702: Incomplete autokey data packet length checks (bsc#951608).

These non-security issues were fixed:

• fate#320758 bsc#975981: Enable compile-time support for MS-SNTP (--enable-ntp-signd). This replaces the w32 patches in 4.2.4 that added the authreg directive.
• bsc#962318: Call /usr/sbin/sntp with full path to synchronize in start-ntpd. When run as cron job, /usr/sbin/ is not in the path, which caused the synchronization to fail.
• bsc#782060: Speedup ntpq.
• bsc#916617: Add /var/db/ntp-kod.
• bsc#956773: Add ntp-ENOBUFS.patch to limit a warning that might happen quite a lot on loaded systems.
• bsc#951559,bsc#975496: Fix the TZ offset output of sntp during DST.
• Add ntp-fork.patch and build with threads disabled to allow name resolution even when running chrooted.
• Add a controlkey line to /etc/ntp.conf if one does not already exist to allow runtime configuuration via ntpq.
• bsc#946386: Temporarily disable memlock to avoid problems due to high memory usage during name resolution.
• bsc#905885: Use SHA1 instead of MD5 for symmetric keys.
• Improve runtime configuration:
  • Read keytype from ntp.conf
  • Don't write ntp keys to syslog.
• Fix legacy action scripts to pass on command line arguments.
• bsc#944300: Remove 'kod' from the restrict line in ntp.conf.
• bsc#936327: Use ntpq instead of deprecated ntpdc in start-ntpd.
• Don't let 'keysdir' lines in ntp.conf trigger the 'keys' parser.
• Disable mode 7 (ntpdc) again, now that we don't use it anymore.
• Add 'addserver' as a new legacy action.
• bsc#910063: Fix the comment regarding addserver in ntp.conf.
• bsc#926510: Disable chroot by default.
• bsc#920238: Enable ntpdc for backwards compatibility.
• bsc#784760: Remove local clock from default configuration.
• bsc#942441/fate#319496: Require perl-Socket6.
• Improve runtime configuration:
  • Read keytype from ntp.conf
  • Don't write ntp keys to syslog.
• bsc#920183: Allow -4 and -6 address qualifiers in 'server' directives.
• Use upstream ntp-wait, because our version is incompatible with the new ntpq command line syntax.
