Package : ntp

Multi Network Firewall 2.0

Problem Description:

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in ntp:

A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the ntpd daemon's NTPv4
authentication code. If ntpd was configured to use public key
cryptography for NTP packet authentication, a remote attacker could
use this flaw to send a specially-crafted request packet that could
crash ntpd (CVE-2009-1252).

The updated packages have been patched to prevent this.
