            Bug ID: 193303
           Summary: NTP needs to be updated as a matter of urgency
           Product: Ports Tree
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: Needs Triage
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: dave@horsfall.org

As I type this, my NTPD server is under a DoS attack from a botnet, using a
vulnerability known since late 2013.  The ports tree urgently needs to be
upgraded to NTP 4.2.7.p26; it currently has 4.2.6p2, which is vulnerable.

I have since firewalled inbound ntp/udp, as I am not peering.

More information at

Please address.  Thanks.
