Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: trixie
X-Debbugs-Cc: rust-ntp-proto at packages.debian.org, debian at fabian.gruenbichler.email
Control: affects -1 + src:rust-ntp-proto
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: pu

[ Reason ]

Fix CVE-2026-26076 - increased load while processing malformed NTS packets

See #1127929 for details and input by the security team.

[ Impact ]

ntpd-rs (the NTP client/daemon using the ntp-proto crate) would still be
affected by the CVE.

[ Tests ]

The fix is cherry-picked from upstream, the autopkgtest suite pass as much as
it did before.

[ Risks ]

The change is fairly trivial.

[ Checklist ]
  [x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
  [x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable

[ Changes ]

A single cherry-picked patch with a minor modification for different import
context, introducing an upper bound for the amount of NTS packets processed for
a given request.

[ Other info ]
Since rust-ntp-proto just builds librust-ntp-proto-dev which just contains Rust
source code, the actual fix will only materialize via a binNMU of rust-ntpd to
pick up the change.

Thanks for your consideration,
Fabian
