CVE-2009-0159: Buffer Overflow
First published: Tue Mar 17 2009(Updated: )
Apple Security Team reported a stack buffer overflow exists in the ntpq program. When the ntpq program is used to request peer information from a remote time server, a maliciously crafted response may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution. Problem exists in cookedprint() function in ntpq.c, when server-supplied numeric value is sprintf-ed to the buffer that is not large enough to hold string representation of the maximum possible value.
