util/ntp-keygen.c in ntp-keygen in NTP before 4.2.7p230 uses a weak RNG seed, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via a brute-force attack.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2014-9294 is a weakness in NTP key generation before 4.2.7p230. Keys could be easier to brute-force because ntp-keygen used a weak random seed. Business risk depends on whether affected NTP cryptographic features were used, especially on network devices or servers that trusted generated keys. Likely exposure is older systems, appliances, or distributions shipping NTP before 4.2.7p230 and using ntp-keygen-generated keys. Cisco, Red Hat, HPE, Mageia, CERT/CC, and other advisories indicate broad vendor assessment, but exact affected products are not enumerated in the source bundle. Prioritize remediation during legacy infrastructure and network-device patch cycles. Escalate faster where NTP authentication or generated keys protect trust relationships. The absence of KEV evidence lowers emergency urgency, but weak cryptographic material can persist until keys and packages are corrected. Mitigation focus: Upgrade NTP to 4.2.7p230 or later, or vendor-supported patched packages.; Check Cisco, Red Hat, HPE, Mageia, and device-vendor advisories for product-specific fixes.; Regenerate affected NTP keys after patching where vendor guidance recommends it..
