1. Problem Description

   The ntp time synchronisation demon has a buffer overflow in its
   control request parsing which allows any remote attacker to gain
   root access, if the demon is running.

   Caldera Systems is shipping this demon disabled by default, but
   we urge our customers to either deinstall or upgrade the package.
