Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2017:0252 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Moderate: ntp security update 2017-02-06 11:16:56 UTC

Description Adam Mariš 2016-11-22 10:21:09 UTC 
An exploitable configuration modification vulnerability exists in the control mode (mode 6) functionality of ntpd. If, against long-standing BCP recommendations, "restrict default noquery ..." is not specified, a specially crafted control mode packet can set ntpd traps, providing information disclosure and DDoS amplification, and unset ntpd traps, disabling legitimate monitoring. A remote, unauthenticated, network attacker can trigger this vulnerability.
