Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Resource exhaustion
EUVDB-ID: #VU39822
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 3.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2016-7427
CWE-ID:
CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.

2) Resource exhaustion
EUVDB-ID: #VU39823
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 3.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2016-7428
CWE-ID:
CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.
ntpd in NTP before 4.2.8p9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (reject broadcast mode packets) via the poll interval in a broadcast packet.

3) Improper access control
EUVDB-ID: #VU12305
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 7.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2016-9310
CWE-ID:
CWE-284 - Improper Access Control
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information and cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists in the control mode (mode 6) functionality in ntpd due to improper access control. A remote attacker can set or unset traps via a specially crafted control mode packet, gain access to potentially sensitive information and cause the service to crash.

4) NULL pointer dereference
EUVDB-ID: #VU12306
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 7.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2016-9311
CWE-ID:
CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists in ntpd due to NULL pointer dereference when the trap service is enabled. A remote attacker can submit a specially crafted packet and cause the service to crash.
