Freshness: upstream tracker timestamp is available; use API updated time as primary recency signal.
CVE-2016-4954 low priority: Ubuntu including 1 source packages (ntp), 7 status rows across 7 suites (precise, trusty, upstream, wily, xenial, yakkety, zesty): released 3, not-affected 2, ignored 1, needs-triage 1.
The process_packet function in ntp_proto.c in ntpd in NTP 4.x before 4.2.8p8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (peer-variable modification) by sending spoofed packets from many source IP addresses in a certain scenario, as demonstrated by triggering an incorrect leap indication.
