CVE-2016-4954 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Debian security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Debian:12.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ntp package and not the ntp package as distributed by Debian.
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.
