+ <background>
+ <p>
+ NTP is a set of the Network Time Protocol programs.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Robin Park and Dmitri Vinokurov discovered that ntp_request.c in ntpd
+ does not handle MODE_PRIVATE packets correctly, causing a continuous
+ exchange of MODE_PRIVATE error responses between two NTP daemons or
+ causing high CPU load on a single host.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote, unauthenticated attacker could send a specially crafted
+ MODE_PRIVATE packet, allowing for a Denial of Service condition (CPU
+ and bandwidth consumption).
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All NTP users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-misc/ntp-4.2.4_p7-r1"</code>
