CVE-2014-9297

    Stephen Roettger of the Google Security Team, Sebastian Krahmer of
    the SUSE Security Team and Harlan Stenn of Network Time Foundation
    discovered that the length value in extension fields is not properly
    validated in several code paths in ntp_crypto.c, which could lead to
    information leakage or denial of service (ntpd crash).

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
