NTP users are strongly urged to take immediate action to ensure that their NTP daemons are not susceptible to being used in distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Please also take this opportunity to defeat denial-of-service attacks by implementing Ingress and Egress filtering through BCP38.

ntp-4.2.8p15 was released on 23 June 2020. It addresses 1 medium-severity security issue in ntpd, and provides 13 non-security bugfixes over 4.2.8p13.

Please see the NTP Security Notice for vulnerability and mitigation details.

Timeline

Date	Task	Description	% Done
2011-04-25		Accepted student proposals announced on the Google Summer of Code 2011 site.
2011-04-27	discussion and planning	communicate with mentors/ntp developers, to fix the project border and plan.
2011-05-07	prepare the data to translate	extract all the strings in the program, and classify them according to some priority. we will know which must/need to/no need to be localized, the following work and all localizations will benefit from the result of this step;
2011-05-24	Start i18n work	determine the i18n solution for NTP. if we don't want to import depency to other libraries, design a new translation engine for NTP; part of the coding works;
2011-06-07	code change	do most of the code change work; I would be busy with my final examination of this semester during this period(the exact date is still unknown now) :(
2011-06-21	finish goal 1	finish the code change, and test the change carefully. after this week, the goal 1 should be done
2011-06-28	start localization	collect the documents to be translated, start to localize the strings collected from program before, submit mid-term report
2011-07-15	Mid-term evaluations	Mid-term evaluations deadline
2011-07-15	finish program's Chinese l10n work	the goal 2 would be done before now, continue my localization work, and invite some one to do the localization for another language; after this period, the program's Chinese localization should be done.
2011-07-26	document translation	test and adjust the localization work; translate the documents; get the result of the localization of the other language.
2011-08-09	Wrap-up	Suggested 'pencils down' date. Take a week to scrub code, write tests, improve documentation, etc.
2011-08-09	Wrap-up	finish the translation work, test previous i18n work with the two languages' l10n data
2011-08-22	Firm 'pencils down' date.	Mentors, students and organization administrators can begin submitting final evaluations to Google.
2011-08-26	Final evaluation	Final evaluation deadline
2011-08-30	Code samples	Students can begin submitting required code samples to Google
