CVE-2014-9294  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 ntp to version 1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-3.2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ntp package and not the ntp package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

util/ntp-keygen.c in ntp-keygen in NTP before 4.2.7p230 uses a weak RNG seed, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via a brute-force attack.
