- It may or may not be feasible for the big distributors to kill the
whole problem with manpower. But if they do not, there's nothing the
"default admin" can do against it (even if he could technically he may
not be allowed to by policy).


I have found that both centos and some versions of ubuntu have now issued patched versions (well, they pushed out an update within the last 24 hours). Unfortunately (and this is a big issue) they kept the old version number. This means that you have to use the compile date to determine if it has been patched.

For example, for an old system:

ntpq [email protected] Sat Dec 20 02:52:15 UTC 2014 (1)

and a more recent one:

ntpq [email protected] Sat Dec 20 02:53:43 UTC 2014 (1)
