NTP 4.2.8p14 (Harlan Stenn <stenn@…>, 2020 Mar 03)

Focus: Security, Bug fixes, enhancements.

Severity: MEDIUM

This release fixes three vulnerabilities: a bug that causes causes an ntpd instance that is explicitly configured to override the default and allow ntpdc (mode 7) connections to be made to a server to read some uninitialized memory; fixes the case where an unmonitored ntpd using an unauthenticated association to its servers may be susceptible to a forged packet DoS attack; and fixes an attack against a client instance that uses a single unauthenticated time source. It also fixes 46 other bugs and addresses 4 other issues.
