An exploitable denial of service vulnerability exists in the origin timestamp check functionality of ntpd 4.2.8p9. A specially crafted unauthenticated network packet can be used to reset the expected origin timestamp for target peers. Legitimate replies from targeted peers will fail the origin timestamp check (TEST2) causing the reply to be dropped and creating a denial of service condition.
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 Port UDP/123 of an affected device.
As a general security measure, Siemens strongly recommends users protect network access to devices with appropriate
mechanisms. In order to operate the devices in a protected IT environment, Siemens recommends users configure the
environment according to Siemens operational guidelines for industrial security, and follow the recommendations in the
product manual.
Additional information on industrial security by Siemens can be found at: https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity
For more information about this issue, please see Siemens security advisory SSA-211752");
