ntpd in NTP 4.x before 4.2.8p8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (ephemeral-association demobilization) by sending a spoofed crypto-NAK packet with incorrect authentication data at a certain time.
This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.

"The following text was originally created by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The original
can be found at CISA.gov.
Siemens has identified the following specific workarounds and mitigations users can apply to reduce the risk:
- Deactivate NTP-based time synchronization of the device, if enabled. The feature is disabled by default.
- Configure an additional firewall to prevent communication to the Port UDP/123 of an affected device.
- Migrate to a successor product.
As a general security measure, Siemens strongly recommends protecting network access to devices with appropriate
mechanisms. In order to operate the devices in a protected IT environment, Siemens recommends configuring the
environment according to Siemens operational guidelines for Industrial Security and following the recommendations in the
product manuals.
For additional information, please refer to Siemens Security Advisory SSA-497656");
