Description

NTP before 4.2.8p9 rate limits responses received from the configured sources when rate limiting for all associations is enabled, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (prevent responses from the sources) by sending responses with a spoofed source address.

Solution(s)

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