• CVE-2016-2516: Duplicate IPs on unconfig directives will cause an assertion botch (bsc#977452).

These non-security issues were fixed:

• bsc#979302: Change the process name of the forking DNS worker process to avoid the impression that ntpd is started twice.
• bsc#981422: Don't ignore SIGCHILD because it breaks wait().
• bsc#979981: ntp-wait does not accept fractional seconds, so use 1 instead of 0.2 in ntp-wait.service.
• Separate the creation of ntp.keys and key #1 in it to avoid problems when upgrading installations that have the file, but no key #1, which is needed e.g. by 'rcntp addserver'.
• bsc#957226: Restrict the parser in the startup script to the first occurrance of 'keys' and 'controlkey' in ntp.conf.
