Security issues fixed (bsc#1030050) :

  - CVE-2017-6464: Denial of Service via Malformed Config

  - CVE-2017-6462: Buffer Overflow in DPTS Clock

  - CVE-2017-6463: Authenticated DoS via Malicious Config
    Option

  - CVE-2017-6458: Potential Overflows in ctl_put()
    functions

  - CVE-2017-6451: Improper use of snprintf() in
    mx4200_send()

  - CVE-2017-6460: Buffer Overflow in ntpq when fetching
    reslist

  - CVE-2016-9042: 0rigin (zero origin) DoS.

  - ntpq_stripquotes() returns incorrect Value

  - ereallocarray()/eallocarray() underused

  - Copious amounts of Unused Code

  - Off-by-one in Oncore GPS Receiver

  - Makefile does not enforce Security Flags Bugfixes :

  - Remove spurious log messages (bsc#1014172).

  - Fixing ppc and ppc64 linker issue (bsc#1031085).

  - clang scan-build findings

  - Support for openssl-1.1.0 without compatibility modes

  - Bugfix 3072 breaks multicastclient

  - forking async worker: interrupted pipe I/O

  - (...) time_pps_create: Exec format error

  - Incorrect Logic for Peer Event Limiting

  - Change the process name of forked DNS worker

  - Trap Configuration Fail

  - Nothing happens if minsane 

  - allow -4/-6 on restrict line with mask

  - out-of-bound pointers in ctl_putsys and decode_bitflags

  - Move ntp-kod to /var/lib/ntp, because /var/db is not a
    standard directory and causes problems for transactional
    updates.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding
description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
without introducing additional issues."
