It was found that the fix for CVE-2014-9750 was incomplete: three issues were found in the value length checks in ntp_crypto.c, where a packet with particular autokey operations that contained malicious data was not always being completely validated. Receipt of these packets can cause ntpd to crash. Upstream patch: https://github.com/ntp-project/ntp/commit/c4cd4aaf418f57f7225708a93bf48afb2bc9c1da Mitigation: Disable NTP autokey authentication by removing, or commenting out, all configuration directives beginning with the 'crypto' keyword in your ntp.conf file.
