NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream sntp package and not the sntp package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

ntpd in ntp before 4.2.8p14 and 4.3.x before 4.3.100 allows an off-path attacker to block unauthenticated synchronization via a server mode packet with a spoofed source IP address, because transmissions are rescheduled even when a packet lacks a valid origin timestamp.
