It fails on line 264 on if(read(conn, &req, SIZEOF_NTPCM(req)) == -1) Upstream bug is: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=397597&aid=1999319&group_id=29880
It's closed by saying the bug is in _FORTIFY_SOURCE, as the author checked that the "read" call should not exceed allocated value. "check_ntp" doesn't fail so it can be used as a workaround. ** Changed in: nagios-plugins (Ubuntu) Importance: High => Medium -- Buffer overflow in check_ntp_peer - Nagios can't check time servers in Intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/291265 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
