I had this problem in november, and ask to -current to integrate the new
versione of ntpd in base (see my mail "[request] ntp upgrade" 11/27/13
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2013-November/046822.html
).
I tried several workaround with config and policy, and ended up you MUST
have 4.2.7 to stop these kind of attacks.

I think it's better to upgrade the version in base AND to write a security
advisory.

Thank you
