opensuse
Calendar Grey June 5, 2019
Dist Opensuse Esm H88
This Fedora Security Release tackles concerns within cronie by rectifying a pair of critical weaknesses.
An update that solves two vulnerabilities and has two fixes is now available.

Description

This update for cronie fixes the following issues:

Security issues fixed:

- CVE-2019-9704: Fixed an insufficient check in the return value of calloc

which could allow a local user to create Denial of Service by crashing

the daemon (bsc#1128937).

- CVE-2019-9705: Fixed an implementation vulnerability which could allow a

local user to exhaust the memory resulting in Denial of Service

(bsc#1128935).

Bug fixes:

- Manual start of cron is possible even when it's already started using

systemd (bsc#1133100).

- Cron schedules only one job of crontab (bsc#1130746).

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-15:Update update project.
