Can we change the NTP server to a in-existent IP or block the reachability to NTP server to workaround the below Bug.

Upgrade or a Planned Reboot doesn't seem feasible. Kindly suggest

 

Update timezone data to include addition Leap Second introduced on 30-Ju
CSCut30577
Symptom:
There are periodic leap second events which can add or delete a second to global time. 
When the leap second update occurs system may hang since operation system won't understand "60" seconds (normally clock goes from "59" second to "00" second).

Conditions:
The leap second update will be propagated via Network Time Protocol (NTP).

Workaround:
Option #1: An upgrade is required.
Option #2: Shutdown the system prior to leap second occurs and start up after this event bypass the leap second event.

Further Problem Description:
Fix in X8.5.2 code.
