Tracker summary

CVE-2018-8956 low priority: Debian including 2 source packages (ntp, ntpsec), 6 status rows across 5 suites (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie): resolved 6.

Description:

ntpd in ntp 4.2.8p10, 4.2.8p11, 4.2.8p12 and 4.2.8p13 allow remote attackers to prevent a broadcast client from synchronizing its clock with a broadcast NTP server via soofed mode 3 and mode 5 packets. The attacker must either be a part of the same broadcast network or control a slave in that broadcast network that can capture certain required packets on the attacker's behalf and send them to the attacker.
