    impersonation attacks between authenticated peers.

CVE-2015-7977 / CVE-2015-7978

    buffer overflow in the handling of "ntpdc reslist" commands may
    result in denial of service.

CVE-2015-7979

    mode, an attacker can send malformed authentication packets which
    break associations with the server for other broadcast clients.

CVE-2015-8138

    Matthew van Gundy and Jonathan Gardner discovered that missing
    validation of origin timestamps in ntpd clients may result in denial

    may result in denial of service.

CVE-2016-1547

    of crypto NAK packets my result in denial of service.

CVE-2016-1548

    could be forced to change from basic client/server mode to interleaved
    symmetric mode, preventing time synchronisation.

CVE-2016-1550

    Matthew van Gundy, Stephen Gray and Loganaden Velvindron discovered
    that timing leaks in the the packet authentication code could result
    in recovery of a message digest.
