Title:	ICMP Timestamp Reply Information Disclosure
Summary:	The remote host responded to an ICMP timestamp request.
Description:	Summary: The remote host responded to an ICMP timestamp request. Vulnerability Insight: The Timestamp Reply is an ICMP message which replies to a Timestamp message. It consists of the originating timestamp sent by the sender of the Timestamp as well as a receive timestamp and a transmit timestamp. Vulnerability Impact: This information could theoretically be used to exploit weak time-based random number generators in other services. Solution: Various mitigations are possible: - Disable the support for ICMP timestamp on the remote host completely - Protect the remote host by a firewall, and block ICMP packets passing through the firewall in either direction (either completely or only for untrusted networks) CVSS Score: 2.1 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
