You need the draft RFC in one hand. You also need the NTP extension specs -
RFC 7822. They are similar, but different in the way the length is
interpreted.
git log -p 7fb3de6ee9a88cda7910f697a6002dc3e78f5a7b
will show you the details of the fix.
I think the hostname is the only text string in NTS-KE. The problem was not
length but missing NUL when turning it into a c string.
The low level worker routines are in nts.c. The names dealing with the length
differences have ke+_ or ex_ prefixes. Maybe we should add a low level
routine to handle strings.
There are 3 pairs of pack/unpack code.
The high level code that packs a KE request is in nts_client.c, the unpack is
in nts_server.c
The pack/unpack roles are reversed for the KE response.
The packing/unpacking for cookies is in nts_cookie.c
all in ntpd/
At the top of the loop that scans the KE-response, there is code inside an if
(0) that prints out the type and length of each chunk. It's superverbose, but
occasionally very handy for debugging.
