Descriptions

ntpd in ntp before 4.2.8p14 and 4.3.x before 4.3.100 allows an off-path attacker to block unauthenticated synchronization via a server mode packet with a spoofed source IP address, because transmissions are rescheduled even when a packet lacks a valid origin timestamp.

ntpd en ntp versiones anteriores a 4.2.8p14 y versiones 4.3.x anteriores a 4.3.100, permite a un atacante fuera de ruta bloquear una sincronización no autenticada por medio de un paquete en modo server con una dirección IP de origen falsificado, porque las transmisiones son reprogramados aun cuando un paquete carece de una marca de tiempo de origen valido.

A flaw was found in the Network Time Protocol (NTP), where a security issue exists that allows an off-path attacker to prevent the Network Time Protocol daemon (ntpd) from synchronizing with NTP servers not using authentication. A server mode packet with a spoofed source address sent to the client ntpd causes the next transmission to be rescheduled, even if the packet does not have a valid origin timestamp. If the packet is sent to the client frequently enough, it stops polling the server and is unable to synchronize with it.
