Description Adam Mariš 2016-11-22 10:41:52 UTC

If ntpd is configured to allow mrulist query requests from a server that sends a crafted malicious packet, ntpd will crash on receipt of that crafted malicious mrulist query packet.

Comment 1 Adam Mariš 2016-11-22 11:08:59 UTC

Created ntp tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1397351]

Comment 3 Adam Mariš 2016-11-24 14:20:00 UTC

Statement:

This issue did not affect the versions of ntp as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6 and 7 as they did not include support for mrulist.
