These security issues were fixed:
- CVE-2016-4953: Bad authentication demobilizes ephemeral associations
(bsc#982065).
- CVE-2016-4954: Processing spoofed server packets (bsc#982066).
- CVE-2016-4955: Autokey association reset (bsc#982067).
- CVE-2016-4956: Broadcast interleave (bsc#982068).
- CVE-2016-4957: CRYPTO_NAK crash (bsc#982064).
These non-security issues were fixed:
- bsc#979302: Change the process name of the forking DNS worker process to
avoid the impression that ntpd is started twice.
- bsc#979981: ntp-wait does not accept fractional seconds, so use 1
instead of 0.2 in ntp-wait.service.
- bsc#981422: Don't ignore SIGCHILD because it breaks wait().
- Separate the creation of ntp.keys and key #1 in it to avoid problems
when upgrading installations that have the file, but no key #1, which is
needed e.g. by 'rcntp addserver'.");
