A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the ntpd daemon's NTPv4

for NTP packet authentication, a remote attacker could use this flaw to
send a specially-crafted request packet that could crash ntpd.
(CVE-2009-1252)
Note: NTP authentication is not enabled by default.
A buffer overflow flaw was found in the ntpq diagnostic command. A
malicious, remote server could send a specially-crafted reply to an ntpq
request that could crash ntpq. (CVE-2009-0159)
