Log Message:
Update ntp4 to 4.2.8p5.

NTP 4.2.8p5

Focus: Security, Bug fixes, enhancements.

Severity: MEDIUM

In addition to bug fixes and enhancements, this release fixes the
following medium-severity vulnerability:

* Small-step/big-step.  Close the panic gate earlier.
    References: Sec 2956, CVE-2015-5300
    Affects: All ntp-4 releases up to, but not including 4.2.8p5, and
        4.3.0 up to, but not including 4.3.78
    CVSS3: (AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:L) Base Score: 4.0, MEDIUM
    Summary: If ntpd is always started with the -g option, which is
        common and against long-standing recommendation, and if at the
        moment ntpd is restarted an attacker can immediately respond to
        enough requests from enough sources trusted by the target, which
        is difficult and not common, there is a window of opportunity
        where the attacker can cause ntpd to set the time to an
        arbitrary value. Similarly, if an attacker is able to respond
        to enough requests from enough sources trusted by the target,
        the attacker can cause ntpd to abort and restart, at which
        point it can tell the target to set the time to an arbitrary
        value if and only if ntpd was re-started against long-standing
        recommendation with the -g flag, or if ntpd was not given the
        -g flag, the attacker can move the target system's time by at
        most 900 seconds' time per attack.
    Mitigation:
        Configure ntpd to get time from multiple sources.
        Upgrade to 4.2.8p5, or later, from the NTP Project Download
            Page or the NTP Public Services Project Download Page
        As we've long documented, only use the -g option to ntpd in
            cold-start situations.
        Monitor your ntpd instances.
    Credit: This weakness was discovered by Aanchal Malhotra,
        Isaac E. Cohen, and Sharon Goldberg at Boston University.

    NOTE WELL: The -g flag disables the limit check on the panic_gate
        in ntpd, which is 900 seconds by default. The bug identified by
        the researchers at Boston University is that the panic_gate
        check was only re-enabled after the first change to the system
        clock that was greater than 128 milliseconds, by default. The
        correct behavior is that the panic_gate check should be
        re-enabled after any initial time correction.

        If an attacker is able to inject consistent but erroneous time
        responses to your systems via the network or "over the air",
        perhaps by spoofing radio, cellphone, or navigation satellite
        transmissions, they are in a great position to affect your
        system's clock. There comes a point where your very best
        defenses include:

            Configure ntpd to get time from multiple sources.
            Monitor your ntpd instances.

Other fixes:

* Coverity submission process updated from Coverity 5 to Coverity 7.
  The NTP codebase has been undergoing regular Coverity scans on an
  ongoing basis since 2006.  As part of our recent upgrade from
  Coverity 5 to Coverity 7, Coverity identified 16 nits in some of
  the newly-written Unity test programs.  These were fixed.
