Description

ntpd in NTP 4.x before 4.2.8p8, when autokey is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (peer-variable clearing and association outage) by sending (1) a spoofed crypto-NAK packet or (2) a packet with an incorrect MAC value at a certain time.

Solution(s)

  • huawei-euleros-2_0_sp2-upgrade-ntp
  • huawei-euleros-2_0_sp2-upgrade-ntpdate
