> I agree with @rma-x that (beside the palisade driver) the CVEs only affect ntpq, not ntpd.

The CVSS score was changed to 4.4.

Comment 2 Alexander Bergmann 2023-04-13 12:25:13 UTC

This issue is now treated as a duplicate of CVE-2023-26551. The main issue comes down to input validation of ntpq that has then effect at multiple code locations.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1210386 ***
