Package: ntpsec Version: 1.2.2+dfsg1-1+deb12u1 Severity: important
Dear Maintainer, It appears that ntpsec's ntpd returns corrupted values in the "filtdelay", "filtoffset" and "filtdisp" peer variables visible via ntpq. reproducer: $ ntpq ntpq> peers (output elided).... ntpq> rv &1 filtdelay filtoffset filtdisp Expected output: three lines of 8 numbers for each variable read, looking something like: filtdelay= 17.10 17.20 12.35 14.43 14.71 13.64 14.70 14.46, filtoffset= +3.57 +1.58 +0.39 +0.02 +1.04 +0.59 +0.40 -0.56, filtdisp= 0.00 15.89 31.37 47.39 63.08 78.60 94.13 109.65 Actual output is prefaced with garbage characters and repeated values from the other variables: filtdelay=M- M-W}M-HM-^?^? 0.48 0.48 0.47 0.36 0.48 0.45 0.49 0.37?, filtoffset=M- M-W}M-HM-^?^? 0.48 0.48 0.47 0.36 0.48 0.45 0.49 0.37 -0.52 0.92 1.32 0.93 1.03 0.45 1.02 2.04?, filtdisp=M- M-W}M-HM-^?^? 0.48 0.48 0.47 0.36 0.48 0.45 0.49 0.37 -0.52 0.92 1.32 0.93 1.03 0.45 1.02 2.04 0.00 15.95 31.31 47.42 63.18 78.90 95.03 110.45? Why I think the bug is in ntpd and not in ntpq: I see the expected output for these variables when using ntpsec's ntpq to query another system, and I also see the erroneous output when using that other system's ntpq to query the debian ntpsec ntpd. -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.2 APT prefers stable-security APT policy: (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-13-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages ntpsec depends on: ii adduser 3.134 ii init-system-helpers 1.65.2 ii libbsd0 0.11.7-2 ii libc6 2.36-9+deb12u3 ii libcap2 1:2.66-4 ii libssl3 3.0.11-1~deb12u2 ii lsb-base 11.6 ii netbase 6.4 ii python3 3.11.2-1+b1 ii python3-ntp 1.2.2+dfsg1-1+deb12u1 ii sysvinit-utils [lsb-base] 3.06-4 ii tzdata 2023c-5 Versions of packages ntpsec recommends: ii cron [cron-daemon] 3.0pl1-162 ii systemd 252.17-1~deb12u1 Versions of packages ntpsec suggests: ii apparmor 3.0.8-3 pn certbot <none> ii ntpsec-doc 1.2.2+dfsg1-1+deb12u1 pn ntpsec-ntpviz <none> -- Configuration Files: /etc/ntpsec/ntp.conf changed: driftfile /var/lib/ntpsec/ntp.drift statistics loopstats peerstats clockstats filegen loopstats file loopstats type day enable filegen peerstats file peerstats type day enable filegen clockstats file clockstats type day enable restrict -4 default kod notrap nomodify nopeer noquery limited restrict -6 default kod notrap nomodify nopeer noquery limited restrict 127.0.0.1 restrict ::1 restrict source notrap nomodify noquery restrict 192.168.0.0 mask 255.255.0.0 kod notrap nomodify nopeer limited server hydra.hamachi.org iburst server the-governor.hamachi.org iburst server time.cloudflare.com iburst server time.apple.com iburst pool 2.us.pool.ntp.org iburst -- no debconf information
