An attacker may use specially crafted NTP packets to remotely exploit the NTP vulnerability tracked as CVE-2014-9295 and execute arbitrary code as unprivileged user or to interrupt the NTP service. The mGuard is only vulnerable to this attack if the NTP service on the mGuard is enabled, which is not the default setting. Due to the nature of the NTP protocol exploiting the vulnerability from remote is possible if an attacker can inject malicious packets into communication opened from the mGuard to a remote NTP server.
