"The version of ntp installed on the remote host is prior to 4.2.8p16. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2023-153-02 advisory.
- mstolfp in libntp/mstolfp.c in NTP 4.2.8p15 has an out-of-bounds write in the cp<cpdec while loop. An
adversary may be able to attack a client ntpq process, but cannot attack ntpd. (CVE-2023-26551)
- mstolfp in libntp/mstolfp.c in NTP 4.2.8p15 has an out-of-bounds write when adding a decimal point. An
adversary may be able to attack a client ntpq process, but cannot attack ntpd. (CVE-2023-26552)
- mstolfp in libntp/mstolfp.c in NTP 4.2.8p15 has an out-of-bounds write when copying the trailing number.
An adversary may be able to attack a client ntpq process, but cannot attack ntpd. (CVE-2023-26553)
- mstolfp in libntp/mstolfp.c in NTP 4.2.8p15 has an out-of-bounds write when adding a '\0' character. An
adversary may be able to attack a client ntpq process, but cannot attack ntpd. (CVE-2023-26554)
- praecis_parse in ntpd/refclock_palisade.c in NTP 4.2.8p15 has an out-of-bounds write. Any attack method
would be complex, e.g., with a manipulated GPS receiver. (CVE-2023-26555)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
