Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-2516 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ntp Ntp. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2516/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2516/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-2516","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2516/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-2516","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2016-2516","GHSA-r7jh-6376-3vr2","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-2516"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"NTP daemon","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote attackers can crash the NTP daemon by sending repeated unconfig directives from the same IP when mode7 is enabled.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"ntp","vendor":"ntp"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"NTP before 4.2.8p7 and 4.3.x before 4.3.92, when mode7 is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (ntpd abort) by using the same IP address multiple times in an unconfig directive.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2516","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"ntp:ntp","products":["ntp:ntp"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2517"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Regular Expression Denial of Service in hawk","id":"CVE-2016-2515"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-01-30","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-12327","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-06-20"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6460","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-27"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-11331","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-04-18"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6451","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-27"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6452","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-27"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6462","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-27"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-7978","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-01-30"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can crash the NTP daemon by sending repeated unconfig directives from the same IP when mode7 is enabled.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2516/"}
