NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ntp-doc package and not the ntp-doc package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

ntp-keygen in ntp 4.2.8px before 4.2.8p2-RC2 and 4.3.x before 4.3.12 does not generate MD5 keys with sufficient entropy on big endian machines when the lowest order byte of the temp variable is between 0x20 and 0x7f and not #, which might allow remote attackers to obtain the value of generated MD5 keys via a brute force attack with the 93 possible keys.
