Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (6.10%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

An integer overflow can occur in NTP-dev.4.3.70 leading to an out-of-bounds memory copy operation when processing a specially crafted private mode packet. The crafted packet needs to have the correct message authentication code and a valid timestamp. When processed by the NTP daemon, it leads to an immediate crash.
