Subject: Not a security issue: htpdate "buffer overflow"
Hi,
a user reported[1] an apparant security issue to use regarding htpdate,
which states in their changelog[2]:
" - Fixed a buffer overflow when time offset gets to large
https://dev.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi/ticket/3940 "
However, the diff upstream applied shows this only is an integer
overflow, which they also confirmed via mail:
'Sorry for the wrong wordings, but it is indeed "only" an integer
overflow.'
Since other distros also seem to ship htpdate, hopefully this helps to
save some time.
Robert
