Thanks for the PR. I'm not sure it's wise to check the address of the UDP sender via See eg this implementation which indeed does not check the address: https://github.com/vicharl/ntpclient/blob/master/ntpclient.c#L326-L333 Also might be worth seeing how this library handles that scenario: https://github.com/ntpsec/ntpsec The other change to reject short replies seems fine. |

Summary
time()usedrecv(48)and unpackedmsg[40:44]with no length check. A short datagram could raise a confusing error or yield a bad timestamp.len(msg) >= 48, otherwiseOSError(-1)(same family as a socket timeout). Still usesrecv(48).Test plan
micropython/net/ntptime/test_ntptime.py(valid 48-byte reply, short payload), wired into package tests CI.
