How to fix?

Upgrade Alpine:3.2 busybox to version 1.24.2-r1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream busybox package and not the busybox package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.2 relevant fixed versions and status.

The recv_and_process_client_pkt function in networking/ntpd.c in busybox allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU and bandwidth consumption) via a forged NTP packet, which triggers a communication loop.
