"The remote host is missing AIX PTF U832875, which is related to the
security of the package bos.net.tcp.client.

NTP mode 7 (MODE_PRIVATE) is used by the ntpdc query and control
utility. In contrast, ntpq uses NTP mode 6 (MODE_CONTROL), while
routine NTP time transfers use modes 1 through 5. Upon receipt of an
incorrect mode 7 request or a mode 7 error response from an address
that is not listed in a 'restrict ... noquery' or 'restrict ...
ignore' segment, ntpd will reply with a mode 7 error response and log
a message.

If an attacker spoofs the source address of ntpd host A in a mode 7
response packet sent to ntpd host B, both A and B will continuously
send each other error responses, for as long as those packets get
through.

If an attacker spoofs an address of ntpd host A in a mode 7
response packet sent to ntpd host A, then host A will
respond to itself endlessly, consuming CPU and logging
excessively.
