The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - ntp: Stack-based buffer overflow in ntpq and ntpdc allows denial of service or code execution     (CVE-2018-12327)

  - The monlist feature in ntp_request.c in ntpd in NTP before 4.2.7p26 allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (traffic amplification) via forged (1) REQ_MON_GETLIST or (2) REQ_MON_GETLIST_1     requests, as exploited in the wild in December 2013. (CVE-2013-5211)

  - An Information Disclosure vulnerability exists in NTP 4.2.7p25 private (mode 6/7) messages via a     GET_RESTRICT control message, which could let a malicious user obtain sensitive information.
    (CVE-2014-5209)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - ntp: denial of service by trigerring rate limiting on NTP server (CVE-2015-7705)

  - The monlist feature in ntp_request.c in ntpd in NTP before 4.2.7p26 allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (traffic amplification) via forged (1) REQ_MON_GETLIST or (2) REQ_MON_GETLIST_1     requests, as exploited in the wild in December 2013. (CVE-2013-5211)

  - An Information Disclosure vulnerability exists in NTP 4.2.7p25 private (mode 6/7) messages via a     GET_RESTRICT control message, which could let a malicious user obtain sensitive information.
    (CVE-2014-5209)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - ntp: denial of service by trigerring rate limiting on NTP server (CVE-2015-7705)

  - An Information Disclosure vulnerability exists in NTP 4.2.7p25 private (mode 6/7) messages via a     GET_RESTRICT control message, which could let a malicious user obtain sensitive information.
    (CVE-2014-5209)

  - ntpd in ntp before 4.2.8p3 with remote configuration enabled allows remote authenticated users with     knowledge of the configuration password and access to a computer entrusted to perform remote configuration     to cause a denial of service (service crash) via a NULL byte in a crafted configuration directive packet.
    (CVE-2015-5146)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K09940637 advisory.

  - Network Time Protocol (NTP), as specified in RFC 5905, uses port 123 even for modes where a fixed port     number is not required, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct off-path attacks.
    (CVE-2019-11331)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
