NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ntp-perl package and not the ntp-perl package as distributed by Amazon-Linux.
See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2018.03 relevant fixed versions and status.
ntpd in ntp 4.2.8p4 before 4.2.8p11 drops bad packets before updating the "received" timestamp, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (disruption) by sending a packet with a zero-origin timestamp causing the association to reset and setting the contents of the packet as the most recent timestamp. This issue is a result of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-7704.
