An attacker could use a specially crafted package to cause ntpd to\ncrash if the attacker had authenticated access to remote ntpd configuration\n(CVE-2015-5146).\n\nIt was found that ntpd could crash due to an uninitialized variable when\nprocessing malformed logconfig configuration commands, for example,\nntpq -c \":config logconfig a\" (CVE-2015-5194).\n\nIt was found that ntpd exits with a segmentation fault when a statistics\ntype that was not enabled during compilation (e.g. timingstats) is\nreferenced by the statistics or filegen configuration command, for example,\nntpq -c ':config statistics timingstats'\nntpq -c ':config filegen timingstats' (CVE-2015-5195).\n\nIt was found that the :config command can be used to set the pidfile and\ndriftfile paths without any restrictions. A remote attacker could use\nthis flaw to overwrite a file on the file system with a file containing\nthe pid of the ntpd process (immediately) or the current estimated drift\nof the system clock (in hourly intervals). For example,\nntpq -c ':config pidfile /tmp/ntp.pid'\nntpq -c ':config driftfile /tmp/ntp.drift' (CVE-2015-5196).\n\nIt was discovered that sntp would hang in an infinite loop when a\ncrafted NTP packet was received, related to the conversion of the\nprecision value in the packet to double (CVE-2015-5219).","dates":{"published":"2015-09-08T17:55:59.000Z","modified":"2026-04-16T06:23:59.384Z","reserved":null,"kevAdded":[],"kevDue":[]},"cvss":{"headline":{"score":null,"severity":"unknown","version":null,"versionLabel":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"computed":false,"selection":"none"},"metrics":[]},"epss":{"probability":null,"percentile":null,"severity":"unknown","asOf":null,"change":{"pp":null,"baselineDate":null,"baselineScore":null},"history":[],"last30":[]},"kev":{"state":"not-listed","entries":[],"listedCount":0,"totalCatalogs":3,"catalogs":[{"source":"cisa","label":"CISA","listed":false,"entry":null},{"source":"enisa","label":"ENISA","listed":false,"entry":null},{"source":"circl","label":"CIRCL","listed":false,"entry":null}]},"ransomware":{"state":"none-recorded","sources":[]},"exploits":[],"exploitCount":0,"weaknesses":[],"affected":[{"vendor":"mageia","product":"ntp","name":"ntp","label":"ntp","ecosystem":"Mageia","cpePart":null,"purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/ntp","purlType":"rpm","versions":[{"text":"< 4.2.6p5-15.6.mga4","noFixRecorded":false,"fixedIn":null}],"versionsText":"< 4.2.6p5-15.6.mga4","eol":null,"hubHref":null},{"vendor":"mageia","product":"ntp","name":"ntp","label":"ntp","ecosystem":"Mageia","cpePart":null,"purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/ntp","purlType":"rpm","versions":[{"text":"< 4.2.6p5-24.1.mga5","noFixRecorded":false,"fixedIn":null}],"versionsText":"< 4.2.6p5-24.1.mga5","eol":null,"hubHref":null}],"affectedCount":2,"eol":{"hasEol":false,"count":0},"references":[{"url":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2015-0348.html","label":"advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2015-0348.html","hostname":"advisories.mageia.org","tags":["Advisory"]},{"url":"https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16322","label":"bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16322","hostname":"bugs.mageia.org","tags":["REPORT"]},{"url":"http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Main/SecurityNotice#June_2015_NTP_Security_Vulnerabi","label":"support.ntp.org/bin/view/Main/SecurityNotice","hostname":"support.ntp.org","tags":["WEB"]},{"url":"http://openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2015/08/25/3","label":"openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2015/08/25/3","hostname":"openwall.com","tags":["WEB"]}],"lineage":{"upstream":["CVE-2015-5146","CVE-2015-5194","CVE-2015-5195","CVE-2015-5196","CVE-2015-5219"],"downstream":[],"duplicates":[],"related":[]},"timeline":[{"kind":"published","date":"2015-09-08T17:55:59.000Z","label":"Published","detail":"Vulnerability first disclosed.","source":null},{"kind":"modified","date":"2026-04-16T06:23:59.384Z","label":"Last modified","detail":"Vulnerability information updated.","source":null}],"risk":{"score":0,"level":"minimal","profile":"Default","thresholds":{"critical":75,"high":50,"medium":25,"low":10}},"meta":{"dataAsOf":"2026-10-19T09:54:03.800Z","stale":false,"partial":false}}
