CVE-2016-4954
HIGHntp 4.x < 4.2.8p8 - Denial of Service via Spoofed Packet Processing
Title source: llmDescription
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.
