Severity: normal
Tags: security upstream patch

Hi,

the following vulnerability was published for busybox. The config
CONFIG_NTPD is not enabled by default, so this only would affect
rebuild packages. It is thus marked unimportant in the
security-tracker. Opened the bug to track the issue in BTS.

CVE-2016-6301[0]:
NTP server denial of service flaw

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.

For further information see:

Regards,
Salvatore

This was fixed in the recent upload to unstable/sid which already
migrated to testing/buster. Since the ntpd module is not enabled in
Debian's busybox build, it's basically a change in unsued sources that
wasn't worth being mentioned in the changelog. For the same reason this
will not be handled in (old){0,2}stable.

Now closing.
