      Dangerous NTP hole

      http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/12/22/dangerous_ntp_hole_ruins_your_chrissy_lunch/

      Critical holes have been reported in the implementation of the network time protocol (NTP) that could allow unsophisticated attackers root access on servers.

        Looks like the issue is with NTP dæmons, not with NTP clients. So in the SMB, very few people would be impacted. Running internal NTP is uncommon until you are relatively large.
