NTP vulnerability

Several vulnerabilities in NTP were revealed today, just in time for everyone to be away on vacation!

Can we expect a hotfix for this?

  • NTP access is limited to pool.ntp.org in most setups. So the attacker would first have to hack one of those servers in the pool in order to exploit it. Besides that, ntpd normally has very limited permissions. Still, it should be patched ASAP!
