Package: chrony
Version: 1.21z-5
Followup-For: Bug #348412
Hi,
the problem seems to originate from the fact that time_t is 64bit. The
tracking source sends an int32_t that gets converted with ntohl making
it an uint32_t and then gets assigned to a time_t making it
int64_t.
Casting to int32_t restores the sign bit before expanding to 64bit.
