Descriptions

The process_packet function in ntp_proto.c in ntpd in NTP 4.x before 4.2.8p8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (peer-variable modification) by sending spoofed packets from many source IP addresses in a certain scenario, as demonstrated by triggering an incorrect leap indication.

La función process_packet en ntp_proto.c en ntpd en NTP 4.x en versiones anteriores a 4.2.8p8 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (modificación de par variable) enviando paquetes falsificados desde muchas direcciones IP de origen en un determinado escenario, según lo demostrado desencadenando una indicación de salto incorrecta.
