(CVE-2015-7977) - An unspecified flaw exists in authenticated broadcast mode. A remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted packets, to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2015-7979) - A flaw exists in ntpq and ntpdc that allows a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information in timestamps. (CVE-2015-8139) - A flaw exists in the ntpq protocol that is triggered during the handling of an improper sequence of numbers. A man-in-the-middle attacker can exploit this to conduct a replay attack. (CVE-2015-8140) - A flaw exists in the ntpq client that is triggered when handling packets that cause a loop in the getresponse() function.
