Comment (by dluke@…):

 For completeness, it's worth noting that our default ntp.conf ships with a
 restrict default ... noquery line, so the text in the release announcement
 applies:

 {{{
 The vulnerabilities listed below can be significantly mitigated by
 following the BCP of putting

 restrict default ... noquery

 in the ntp.conf file.  With the exception of:

   receive(): missing return on error
   References: Sec 2670 / CVE-2014-9296 / VU#852879

 below (which is a limited-risk vulnerability), none of the recent
 vulnerabilities listed below can be exploited if the source IP is
 restricted from sending a 'query'-class packet by your ntp.conf file.
 }}}
