Yihan Lian discovered that NTP incorrectly handled certain malformed mode 6 packets. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause ntpd to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 17.10 and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2018-7182)
Michael Macnair discovered that NTP incorrectly handled certain responses. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-7183)
Miroslav Lichvar discovered that NTP incorrectly handled certain zero-origin timestamps. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 17.10 and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2018-7184)
Miroslav Lichvar discovered that NTP incorrectly handled certain zero-origin timestamps. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2018-7185).
