<background>
<p>NTP is a protocol designed to synchronize the clocks of computers over a
network. The net-misc/ntp package contains the official reference
implementation by the NTP Project.

<description>
<p>ntpd is susceptible to a reflected Denial of Service attack. Please
review the CVE identifiers and references below for details.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>An unauthenticated remote attacker may conduct a distributed reflective
Denial of Service attack on another user via a vulnerable NTP server.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>We modified the default ntp configuration in =net-misc/ntp-4.2.6_p5-r10
and added “noquery” to the default restriction which disallows anyone
to query the ntpd status, including “monlist”.
</p>
<p>If you use a non-default configuration, and provide a ntp service to
untrusted networks, we highly recommend you to revise your configuration
to disable mode 6 and 7 queries for any untrusted (public) network.
</p>
<p>You can always enable these queries for specific trusted networks. For
more details please see the “Access Control Support” chapter in the
ntp.conf(5) man page.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>All NTP users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-misc/ntp-4.2.6_p5-r10"
</code>
<p>Note that the updated package contains a modified default configuration
only. You may need to modify your configuration further.
