Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in NTP, the Network Time Protocol reference implementation. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :
CVE-2009-0159 A buffer overflow in ntpq allow a remote NTP server to create a denial of service attack or to execute arbitrary code via a crafted response.
CVE-2009-1252 A buffer overflow in ntpd allows a remote attacker to create a denial of service attack or to execute arbitrary code when the autokey functionality is enabled.
