Fixed In Version: chrony-2.1.1-4.el7_3 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
When chronyd was configured with the smoothtime directive and the leaponly option to perform a server leap smear, the direction of smoothing could be determined incorrectly due to numerical errors in floating point operations. This consequently caused an assertion failure and chronyd terminated unexpectedly. A patch has been applied, which ensures that the direction is calculated and applied correctly when small offsets are employed in a time update.
