CVE-2018-7170 - log back

CVE-2018-7170 created at 25 Sep 2019 19:31:40
Severity	+ High
Remote	+ Remote
Type	+ Content spoofing
Description	+ ntpd can be vulnerable to Sybil attacks. If a system is set up to use a trustedkey and if one is not using the feature introduced in ntp-4.2.8p6 allowing an optional 4th field in the ntp.keys file to specify which IPs can serve time, a malicious authenticated peer -- i.e. one where the attacker knows the private symmetric key -- can create arbitrarily-many ephemeral associations in order to win the clock selection of ntpd and modify a victim's clock.
