NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ntp-perl package and not the ntp-perl package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
NTP before 4.2.8p9 does not properly perform the initial sync calculations, which allows remote attackers to unspecified impact via unknown vectors, related to a "root distance that did not include the peer dispersion."
