NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream sntp package and not the sntp package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 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.
