The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 4.05, has ntp packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  • A vulnerability was found in NTP, in the parsing of packets from the /dev/datum device. A malicious device could send crafted messages, causing ntpd to crash.
    (CVE-2017-6462)

  • A vulnerability was discovered in the NTP serverโ€™s parsing of configuration directives. A remote, authenticated attacker could cause ntpd to crash by sending a crafted message. (CVE-2017-6463, CVE-2017-6464)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the applicationโ€™s self-reported version number.
