Description:
Josh Bressers has reported a security issue in ntpd, which can cause ntpd to run with incorrect group permissions.
The security issue is caused due to an error in handling the "-u" command line option when the group name is specified using a string. This causes ntpd to run with the gid of the user instead of the group.
