Memory leak in the CRYPTO_ASSOC function in ntpd in NTP 4.2.x before 4.2.8p4, and 4.3.x before 4.3.77 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption). (CVE-2015-7701)
Impact
An attacker could send packets to ntpd that may, after several days of ongoing attack, cause it to run out of memory. There is no control plane exposure in the BIG-IP system when you use a default configuration, and this issue is exposed only when NTP is configured to use the Autokey security protocol.
