This bug was fixed in the package ntp - 1:4.2.8p4+dfsg-3ubuntu1

---------------
ntp (1:4.2.8p4+dfsg-3ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Merge from Debian testing. Remaining changes:
    + debian/rules: enable debugging. Ask debian to add this.
    + debian/rules, debian/ntp.dirs, debian/source_ntp.py: Add apport hook.
    + Add enforcing AppArmor profile:
      - debian/control: Add Conflicts/Replaces on apparmor-profiles.
      - debian/control: Add Suggests on apparmor.
      - debian/control: Build-Depends on dh-apparmor.
      - add debian/apparmor-profile*.
      - debian/ntp.dirs: Add apparmor directories.
      - debian/rules: Install apparmor-profile and apparmor-profile.tunable.
      - debian/source_ntp.py: Add filter on AppArmor profile names to prevent
        false positives from denials originating in other packages.
      - debian/README.Debian: Add note on AppArmor.
    + debian/ntpdate.if-up: Fix interaction with openntpd. Stop ntp before
      running ntpdate when an interface comes up, then start again afterwards.
    + debian/ntp.init, debian/rules: Only stop when entering single user mode,
      don't use /var/lib/ntp/ntp.conf.dhcp if /etc/ntp.conf is newer - it can
      get stale. Patch by Simon Déziel.
    + debian/ntp.conf, debian/ntpdate.default: Change default server to
      ntp.ubuntu.com.
    + debian/control: Add bison to Build-Depends (for ntpd/ntp_parser.y).
  * Includes fix for requests with source ports < 123, fixed upstream in
    4.2.8p1 (LP: #1479652).
  * Add PPS support (LP: #1512980):
    + debian/README.Debian: Add a PPS section to the README.Debian,
      removed all PPSkit one.
    + debian/ntp.conf: Add some configuration examples from the offical
      documentation.
    + debian/control: Add Build-Depends on pps-tools
  * Drop Changes:
    + debian/rules: Update config.{guess,sub} for AArch64, because upstream use
      dh_autoreconf now.
    + debian/{control,rules}: Add and enable hardened build for PIE.
      Upstream use fPIC. Options -fPIC and -fPIE are uncompatible, thus this is
      never applied, (cf. dpkg-buildflags manual), checked with Marc
      Deslauriers on freenode #ubuntu-hardened, 2016-01-20~13:11 UTC.
    + debian/rules: Remove update-rcd-params in dh_installinit command. When
      setting up ntp package, the following message is presented to the user
      due to deprecated use:
      "update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer
      supported; falling back to defaults". The defaults are taken from the
      init.d script LSB comment header, which contain what we need anyway.
    + debian/rules: Remove ntp/ntp_parser.{c,h} or they don't get properly
      regenerated for some reason. Seems to have been due to ntpd/ntp_parser.y
      patches from CVE-2015-5194 and CVE-2015-5196, already upstreamed.
    + debian/ntpdate.if-up: Drop lockfile mechanism as upstream is using flock
      now.
    + Remove natty timeframe old deltas (transitional code not needed since
      Trusty): Those patches were for an incorrect behaviour of
      system-tools-backend, around natty time
      (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntp/+bug/83604/comments/23)
      - debian/ntpdate-debian: Disregard empty ntp.conf files.
      - debian/ntp.preinst: Remove empty /etc/ntp.conf on fresh intallation.
    + debian/ntp.dhcp: Rewrite sed rules. This was done incorrectly as pointed
      out in LP 575458. This decision is explained in detail there.
  * All previous ubuntu security patches/fixes have been upstreamed:
    + CVE-2015-5146, CVE-2015-5194, CVE-2015-5195, CVE-2015-5196,
      CVE-2015-7703, CVE-2015-5219, CVE-2015-5300, CVE-2015-7691,
      CVE-2015-7692, CVE-2015-7702, CVE-2015-7701, CVE-2015-7704,
      CVE-2015-7705, CVE-2015-7850, CVE-2015-7852, CVE-2015-7853,
      CVE-2015-7855, CVE-2015-7871, CVE-2015-1798, CVE-2015-1799,
      CVE-2014-9297, CVE-2014-9298, CVE-2014-9293, CVE-2014-9294,
      CVE-2014-9295, CVE-2014-9296
    + Fix to ignore ENOBUFS on routing netlink socket
    + Fix use-after-free in routing socket code
    + ntp-keygen infinite loop or lack of randonmess on big endian platforms
