| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
NTP versions prior to 4.2.7p26
Description
The issue is related to the monlist feature in ntpd, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (traffic amplification) via forged requests, specifically
REQ MON GETLIST or REQ MON GETLIST 1 requests. This vulnerability has been exploited in the wild. The problem is associated with insufficient control over the volume of transmitted network messages, enabling a remote attacker to send specially crafted requests and cause a denial of service.Recommendations
For versions prior to 4.2.7p26, update to version 4.2.7p26 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the monlist feature in ntpd to prevent exploitation until a patch is applied. Restrict access to the
REQ MON GETLIST and REQ MON GETLIST 1 requests to minimize the risk of denial of service attacks.Exploit
