The Network Time Foundation (through Harlan Stenn’s hard work) has already
released a patch synchronized with the publication of the referenced paper from
Boston University:
http://nwtime.org/ntf-releases-ntp-security-patches-ntp-4-2-8p4/
Many of the comments on the Ars Technica piece are quite naive regarding
timekeeping issues. This reflects an ongoing need for public education that
Time-nuts as well as NTF can help supply.
