CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/704.html

The ULOGTOD function in ntp.d in SNTP before 4.2.7p366 does not properly perform type conversions from a precision value to a double, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted NTP packet.

Weakness

The product does not correctly convert an object, resource, or structure from one type to a different type.
