Descriptions

ntpd in NTP before 4.2.8p9, when the trap service is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and crash) via a crafted packet.

ntpd en NTP en versiones anteriores a 4.2.8p9, cuando el servicio de captura está habilitado, permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (referencia a puntero NULL y caída) a través de un paquete manipulado.

A flaw was found in the way ntpd implemented the trap service. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted packet to cause a null pointer dereference that will crash ntpd, resulting in a denial of service.
