CVE-2016-6301 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
There is no fixed version for RHEL:6 busybox.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream busybox package and not the busybox package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.
The recv_and_process_client_pkt function in networking/ntpd.c in busybox allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU and bandwidth consumption) via a forged NTP packet, which triggers a communication loop.
