<p>
|
|
Robin Park and Dmitri Vinokurov discovered that ntp_request.c in ntpd
|
|
does not handle MODE_PRIVATE packets correctly, causing a continuous
|
|
exchange of MODE_PRIVATE error responses between two NTP daemons or
|
|
causing high CPU load on a single host.
|
|
</p>
|

|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote, unauthenticated attacker could send a specially crafted
|
|
MODE_PRIVATE packet, allowing for a Denial of Service condition (CPU
|
|
and bandwidth consumption).
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All NTP users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/ntp-4.2.4_p7-r1"</code>
