   An update that fixes two vulnerabilities is now available.

Description:


   The network timeservice ntp was updated to fix critical security issues
   (bnc#910764, CERT VU#852879)
   * A potential remote code execution problem was found inside ntpd. The
     functions crypto_recv() (when using autokey authentication),
     ctl_putdata(), and configure() where updated to avoid buffer overflows
     that could be exploited. (CVE-2014-9295)
   * Furthermore a problem inside the ntpd error handling was found that is
     missing a return statement. This could also lead to a potentially attack
     vector. (CVE-2014-9296)
