      "value": "ntpkeygen can generate keys that ntpd fails to parse. NTPsec 1.2.0 allows ntpkeygen to generate keys with '#' characters. ntpd then either pads, shortens the key, or fails to load these keys entirely, depending on the key type and the placement of the '#'. This results in the administrator not being able to use the keys as expected or the keys are shorter than expected and easier to brute-force, possibly resulting in MITM attacks between ntp clients and ntp servers. For short AES128 keys, ntpd generates a warning that it is padding them."

      "value": "ntpkeygen puede generar claves que ntpd no puede analizar. NTPsec versi\u00f3n 1.2.0 permite a ntpkeygen generar claves con caracteres \"#\". ntpd entonces rellena, acorta la clave, o comete un fallo al cargar estas claves por completo, dependiendo del tipo de clave y la colocaci\u00f3n del \"#\". Esto hace que el administrador no pueda usar las claves como se esperaba o que las claves sean m\u00e1s cortas de lo esperado y m\u00e1s f\u00e1ciles de forzar, resultando posiblemente en ataques MITM entre clientes ntp y servidores ntp. Para claves AES128 cortas, ntpd genera una advertencia de que las est\u00e1 rellenando"
