Description: ntp has been updated to fix four security issues: * CVE-2014-9294: ntp-keygen used a weak RNG seed, which made it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via a brute-force attack. (bsc#910764) * CVE-2014-9293: The config_auth function, when an auth key is not 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.
