Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: Absence of cryptographic signature validation in incoming NTP responses allows attackers to feed unauthenticated time packets to the client even when symmetric key authentication is explicitly enabled.
Spoofing: Using deterministic system clocks instead of cryptographically secure random values for transmit timestamps exposes NTP queries to predictability attacks, making it easier for off-path attackers to spoof response packets.
