Package: chrony
Version: 1.23-4
Severity: normal
The new init script for chrony kills random netstat processes. This
introduces a small race condition for systems also running munin. Munin
uses netstat to plot the number of network connections. Killing the
netstat process results in holes in the graphs and possibly warning
mails.
Imho it always is a bad bad idea to do something like killall foo where
foo is a common utility in a script. At least one proper way to do this
is using the timeout package or maybe using a construct like
( netstat & ( sleep 1; kill $! ) ) | ... # untested
which at least is less racy to kill munin's processes.
Although this bug technically affects other packages I only mark it as
normal (instead of critical), because it is unlikely to happen and has
little impact.
