Leap Second bug

[waqas]

Could someone please confirm, or direct me to the right person, whether Extreme products are affected by the Leap Second bug?

This question should be posted in its own topic.

Please reference the new conversation here: When will EXOS 16.2 be released?

hello,

I received by Extreme Networks:

"

Linux kernel versions from 2.6.26 to 3.3 (inclusive) are vulnerable to a deadlock condition in the handling of leap second adjustments provided provided through NTP. The next leap second adjustment is going to occur on June 30th, 2015, and there is potential for this to cause Linux-based Extreme Networks products to crash/hang.

What is a leap second ? http://www.nist.gov/pml/div688/leapseconds.cfm
