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.
Are you using Autokey in production? If so, please contact Harlan - he's got some questions for you.

NTP WG DRAFT CHARTER
Description of Working Group:
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is widely deployed and used in the Internet.
However, the standardization status of this protocol has lagged in the IETF.
RFC 1305 was published in March 1992 and remains unchanged and at Draft Standard status.
A good deal of work has been produced in the NTP community over the years, but this work has not been reflected back into the NTP specification.
The goal of this working group is to update the NTP protocol specification and advance the standardization status of NTP based on the extensive work from the NTP community.
A number of topics have been raised as potential work items for an update to NTP including support for IPv6, security considerations, automatic configuration, and algorithm improvements.
This working group will develop an NTPv4 specification based on the state of NTPv4 in the community.
This effort will maintain backwards compatibility with NTPv3.
Potentials further modifications and additions to the NTP protocol will be documented for possible further work beyond NTPv4.
The working group will complete the following tasks:
- Produce an NTPv4 Scope and Requirements Document
- Produce an NTPv4 Protocol Specification
- Produce an NTPv4 Algorithms Specification
- Produce an NTPv4 MIB
