[Title copied from Debian bug, which was not filed by me. Description below is mine.]

If an NTP client sends a request with a source port less than 123, the packet is silently ignored by ntpd. This is occurring in our environment due to NAT.

Attached is the patch from upstream which fixes the issue. I've verified it fixes the problem. Debian has been ignoring this patch for almost 3 years. Can we get this in Ubuntu please?
