MDKSA-2005:156: ntp Vulnerability Scan


Vulnerability Scan Summary
Check for the version of the ntp package

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test

The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2005:156 (ntp).



When starting xntpd with the -u option and specifying the group by using a
string not a numeric gid the daemon uses the gid of the user not the group.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this problem.
