[Bug 291265] Re: Buffer overflow in check_ntp_peer - Nagios can't check time servers in Intrepid

[Thierry Carrez]

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.
