NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the improper handling of invalid server responses. By sending specially crafted packets with spoofed source address, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 1.6
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/119094 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:P/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID: CVE-2016-7433
DESCRIPTION:
NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the inclusion of the root delay allowing for an incorrect root distance calculation. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 1.6
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/119095 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:P/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID: CVE-2016-9310
DESCRIPTION:
NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error in the control mode (mode 6) functionality. By sending specially crafted control mode packets, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information and cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/119087 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L)

CVEID: CVE-2016-9311
DESCRIPTION:
NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a NULL pointer dereference when trap service has been enabled. By sending specially crafted packets, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 4.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/119086 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID: CVE-2016-7429
DESCRIPTION:
NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an attack on interface selection. By sending specially crafted packets with spoofed source address, a physical attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 1.6
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/119093 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
