[Bug 1479652] Re: [patch] ntpd rejects source UDP ports less than 123 as bogus

 

According to the Debian bug, this was fixed upstream in 4.2.8p1 and
Debian sid is now on 1:4.2.8p4+dfsg-3 so I think that means this is
fixed in Debian. Ubuntu will pick it up on the next merge which I am
expecting to be done this cycle.

Title:
  [patch] ntpd rejects source UDP ports less than 123 as bogus

Status in NTP:
  Fix Released
Status in ntp package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in ntp package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  [Title copied from Debian bug, which was not filed by me. Description
  below is mine.]

  If an NTP client sends a request with a source port less than 123, the
  packet is silently ignored by ntpd. This is occurring in our
  environment due to NAT.

  Attached is the patch already accepted upstream which fixes the issue.
  I've verified it fixes the problem. Debian has been ignoring this
  patch for almost 3 years. Can we get this in Ubuntu please?
