ntpd: respond only to client and symmetric active packets
|
|
The busybox NTP implementation doesn't check the NTP mode of packets
|
|
received on the server port and responds to any packet with the right
|
|
size. This includes responses from another NTP server. An attacker can
|
|
send a packet with a spoofed source address in order to create an
|
|
infinite loop of responses between two busybox NTP servers. Adding
|
|
more packets to the loop increases the traffic between the servers
|
|
until one of them has a fully loaded CPU and/or network.
