Summary

Security Advisory ID : BSA-2017-288

Component : NTP

Revision : 1.0: Interim

There is a potential for a buffer overflow in the legacy Datum Programmable Time Server refclock driver. Here the packets are processed from the /dev/datum device and handled in datum_pts_receive(). Since an attacker would be required to somehow control a malicious /dev/datum device, this does not appear to be a practical attack and renders this issue “Low” in terms of severity.
