CVE-2015-1822 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:18.10.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream chrony package and not the chrony package as distributed by Ubuntu.
chrony before 1.31.1 does not initialize the last "next" pointer when saving unacknowledged replies to command requests, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (uninitialized pointer dereference and daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a large number of command requests.
