I’m currently running a scan of the internet and querying NTP versions. I’ll publish the results of it on Github and mail them in here :) On 12/07/2015 15:15, "NANOG on behalf of Mike O'Connor" <nanog-bounces () nanog org on behalf of mjo () dojo mi org> wrote:
:Thanks, and I'm kinda stunned that folks are running such ancient :versions of NTP. I suggest you get accustomed to being stunned. :https://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Dev/ReleaseTimeline : :4.2.0 was EOL'd in June of 2006, and we've fixed about 3,000 issues in :the codebase since then. 4.2.0 may have been EOL'd in 2006, but it was still shipping as the default in FreeBSD until 2009. Out of those 3000 issues, only a tiny fraction are security-related that would apply to JunOS. I expect that they backport security and other fixes as necessary, until some bigger engineering effort and|or headache calls for a forklift/mass upgrade of things. -- Michael J.
