"The remote OT asset is affected by a vulnerability.");
  script_set_attribute(attribute:"description", value:
"A vulnerability in the authentication code of ntpd could allow 
an unauthenticated, remote attacker to inject NTP state variables 
without knowledge of the NTP keys. 
The vulnerability is due to invalid processing of the NTP packets 
when authentication fails. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability 
by periodically sending NTP packets with set NTP state variables. 
A successful exploit could allow the attacker to disrupt communication 
between NTP hosts, preventing synchronization. 

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
