  configured, improperly generated a key, which made it easier for
  remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via a
  brute-force attack. (bsc#910764)

  * CVE-2014-9298: ::1 can be spoofed on some operating systems, so ACLs
  based on IPv6 ::1 addresses could be bypassed. (bsc#910764)

  * CVE-2014-9297: vallen is not validated in several places in
  ntp_crypto.c, leading to potential information leak. (bsc#910764)
