It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-6451 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-2017-6451/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6451/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-6451","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6451/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-6451","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mg4x-c4g8-f6h5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"NTP daemon","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can execute arbitrary code via an out-of-bounds memory write in the NTP MX4200 refclock driver.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"ntp","vendor":"ntp"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"}],"description":"The mx4200_send function in the legacy MX4200 refclock in NTP before 4.2.8p10 and 4.3.x before 4.3.94 does not properly handle the return value of the snprintf function, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, which trigger an out-of-bounds memory write.","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":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6451","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"ntp:ntp","products":["ntp:ntp"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6452"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6448"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-03-27","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-2017-6452","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":"Local attackers can execute arbitrary code via an out-of-bounds memory write in the NTP MX4200 refclock driver.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6451/"}
