A memory leak flaw was found in ntpd's CRYPTO_ASSOC. If ntpd is configured to use autokey authentication, an attacker could send packets to ntpd that would, after several days of ongoing attack, cause it to run out of memory. Mitigation: Disable NTP autokey authentication by removing, or commenting out, all configuration directives beginning with the 'crypto' keyword in your ntp.conf file.
