rust-ntp-proto: ntpd-rs is a full-featured implementation of the Network Time Protocol
CVE-2026-26076 is fixed in rust-ntp-proto on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-26076, released February 12, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High.
ntpd-rs is a full-featured implementation of the Network Time Protocol. Prior to 1.7.1, an attacker can remotely induce moderate increases (2-4 times above normal) in cpu usage. When having NTS enabled on an ntpd-rs server, an attacker can create malformed NTS packets that take significantly more effort for the server to respond to by requesting a large number of cookies. This can lead to degraded server performance even when a server could otherwise handle the load. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.7.1.
