CVE-2015-8139 ntp: ntpq and ntpdc disclose origin timestamp to unauthenticated clients

CVE-2015-8139 [MEDIUM] CVE-2015-8139 ntp: ntpq and ntpdc disclose origin timestamp to unauthenticated clients
CVE-2015-8139 ntp: ntpq and ntpdc disclose origin timestamp to unauthenticated clients
To prevent off-path attackers from impersonating legitimate peers, clients require that the origin timestamp in a received response packet match the transmit timestamp from its last request to a given peer. Under assumption that only the recipient of the request packet will know the value of the transmit timestamp, this prevents an attacker from forging replies
