Dear freshmeat.net subscriber, kostecke just announced version 4.2.6-RC of NTP on freshmeat.net. The changes are as follows: This release includes the fix for CVE-2009-3563, "DoS with mode 7 packets", a high-severity vulnerability that only affects users who accept mode 7 packets from untrusted sources. This release also includes many enhancements, updates, and bugfixes applied during the last development cycle. This is a strongly recommended upgrade. Project description: The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize the time of a computer client or server to another server or reference time source, such as a radio or satellite receiver or modem. It provides client accuracies typically within a millisecond on LANs and up to a few tens of milliseconds on WANs relative to a primary server synchronized to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) via a Global Positioning Service (GPS) receiver, for example.
