Potential security vulnerabilities have been identified with HP-UX running NTP. Thesecould be exploited remotely to execute code, create a Denial of Service (DoS), or othervulnerabilities.
Description:
The receive function in ntp_proto.c in ntpd in NTP before 4.2.8 continues to execute after detecting a certain authentication error, which might allow remote attackers to trigger an unintended association change via crafted packets.
