A bug in the GPS Week Rollover code of GPSd, which apparently isn't quite as tight as ESR thinks it is, may cause GPD steered clocks and infrastructre to report incorrect date-data starting on or about 10-24-2021 (presumably) UTC, and this may bubble up into authentication and security protocols (including SSL) since they tend to depend on everyone having the same clock these days.
Write a post it note with that date on top, and put it on your cubicle wall, so that if things get hincky that day, you remember why. Or, y'know, whatever internal dissemination protocol your organization utilizes. :-) Replies to -discuss, please. https://isc.sans.edu/forums/diary/Keeping+Track+of+Time+Network+Time+Protocol+and+a+GPSD+Bug/27886/ https://gpsd.gitlab.io/gpsd/ Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
