slackware
June 23, 2020
New ntp packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current to fix a security issue
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: patches/packages/ntp-4.2.8p15-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded. This release fixes one vulnerability: Associations that use CMAC authentication between ntpd from versions 4.2.8p11/4.3.97 and 4.2.8p14/4.3.100 will leak a small amount of memory for each packet. Eventually, ntpd will run out of memory and abort. (* Security fix *)
