Priority MEDIUM 47
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 sou…

Priority MEDIUM 42
The control mode (mode 6) functionality in ntpd in NTP before 4.2.8p9 allows remote attackers to set or unset traps via a crafted control mode packet.
CVSS 3.0MEDIUM 6.5· Network · No auth · No interaction · EPSS 0.11072 · Published 2017-01-13 · Partial fix CWE-400
Priority MEDIUM 40
ntpd in NTP before 4.2.8p9, when the trap service is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and crash) via a crafted packet.
CVSS 3.0MEDIUM 5.9· Network · No auth · No interaction · EPSS 0.11085 · Published 2017-01-13 · Partial fix CWE-476
Priority LOW 36
NTP before 4.2.8p9 does not properly perform the initial sync calculations, which allows remote attackers to unspecified impact via unknown vectors, related to a "root distance that did not include the peer dispersion."
