Upgrade Debian:11 ntp to version 1:4.2.8p8+dfsg-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ntp package and not the ntp package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.
ntpd in NTP 4.x before 4.2.8p8, when autokey is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (peer-variable clearing and association outage) by sending (1) a spoofed crypto-NAK packet or (2) a packet with an incorrect MAC value at a certain time.
