http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-1252

Here are the details from the Slackware 12.2 ChangeLog:

patches/packages/ntp-4.2.4p7-i486-1_slack12.2.tgz:
Upgraded to ntp-4.2.4p7.
Stack-based buffer overflow in the cookedprint function in ntpq/ntpq.c in ntpq
in NTP before 4.2.4p7-RC2 allows arbitrary code execution by a malicious
remote NTP server.
Stack-based buffer overflow in the crypto_recv function in ntp_crypto.c in
ntpd in NTP before 4.2.4p7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
This does not affect the Slackware ntpd as it does not link with openssl.
For more information, see:

http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-1252
(* Security fix *)

Where to find the new packages:

HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?
Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site
for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading
directly from ftp.slackware.com.

Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab
(http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting
to the Slackware project! :-)

Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://slackware.com for
additional mirror sites near you.
