CVE-2015-7976

The ntpq saveconfig command in NTP 4.1.2, 4.2.x before 4.2.8p6, 4.3, 4.3.25, 4.3.70, and 4.3.77 does not properly filter special characters, which allows attackers to cause unspecified impact via a crafted filename.

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.51%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
