1) CVE-2020-11868 / NTP Bug 3592

"The fix for https://bugs.ntp.org/3445 introduced a bug whereby a system that is running ntp-4.2.8p12 or p13 that only has one unauthenticated time source can be attacked in a way that causes the victim's next poll to its source to be delayed, for as long as the attack is maintained."

URL: http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Main/NtpBug3592

2) NTP Bug 3596

"A high-performance ntpd instance that gets its time from unauthenticated IPv4 time sources may be vulnerable to an off-path attacker who can query time from the victim's ntpd instance. The attacker must be able to send and the victim must be able to receive and process a large number of packets with the spoofed IPv4 address of the upstream server. After 8 or more successful attacks in a row, the attacker can either modify the victim's clock by a limited amount or cause ntpd to exit. This attack is most effective in cases where an unusually short poll interval is expressly configured on the victim's ntpd."
