NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ntp package and not the ntp package as distributed by Debian.

NTP before 4.2.8p9 rate limits responses received from the configured sources when rate limiting for all associations is enabled, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (prevent responses from the sources) by sending responses with a spoofed source address.
