+ <description>
+ <p>The recv_and_process_client_pkt function in networking/ntpd.c in BusyBox
+ allows remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service (CPU and bandwidth
+ consumption) via a forged NTP packet, which triggers a communication
+ loop.

+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>A remote attacker might send a specially crafted package to a machine
+ running BusyBox ntpd, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service
+ condition.

+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>

+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=sys-apps/busybox-1.25.1"
+ </code>
