CVE-2016-2516

NTP before 4.2.8p7 and 4.3.x before 4.3.92, when mode7 is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (ntpd abort) by using the same IP address multiple times in an unconfig directive.

MEDIUM 5.3EPSS 8.95%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (8.95%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
