Network Time Protocol Denial-Of-Service Vulnerability Through decodenetnum Function

This strike exploits a denial-of-service vulnerability in Network Time Protocol daemon (NTPD). This vulnerability is due to the fact that "laddr" or "addr.%d" values from inside a mrulist command are not properly sanitized before supposing their length is less than 80 bytes in the decodenetnum() function. An attacker exploiting this vulnerability could cause a denial-of-service condition on the target machine.
