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.
