Analyzing Chrony with Frama-C/Eva
André Maroneze on 19 June 2018

Chrony is an implementation of NTP which is C99-compatible, with portable code, and thus a good candidate for an analysis with tools such as Frama-C. As part of an effort sponsored by Orolia, researchers from the List, CEA Tech laboratory applied Frama-C/Eva on the Chrony source code, in an attempt...
