Various security problems have been discovered in Debian's CRON scheduler. CVE-2017-9525 . Package : cron Version : 3.0pl1-127+deb8u2 CVE ID : CVE-2017-9525 CVE-2019-9704 CVE-2019-9705 CVE-2019-9706 Debian Bug : 809167 Various security problems have been discovered in Debian's CRON scheduler. CVE-2017-9525 Fix group crontab to root escalation via the Debian package's postinst script as described by Alexander Peslyak (Solar Designer) in https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2017/06/08/3 CVE-2019-9704 DoS: Fix unchecked return of calloc(). Florian Weimer discovered that a missing check for the return value of calloc() could crash the daemon, which could be triggered by a very large crontab created by a user. CVE-2019-9705 Enforce maximum crontab line count of 1000 to prevent a malicious user from creating an excessivly large crontab. The daemon will log a warning for existing files, and crontab(1) will refuse to create new ones. CVE-2019-9706 A user reported a use-after-free condition in the cron daemon, leading to a possible Denial-of-Service scenario by crashing the daemon. For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version 3.0pl1-127+deb8u2. We recommend that you upgrade your cron packages.

Debian: DSA-024-1 Critical: Cron Local Issue with Insecure Handling

Local insecure crontab handling vulnerability exists in previous versions.. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-024-1 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Debian -- Security Information Martin Schulze January 27, 2001 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : cron Vulnerability : local insecure crontab handling Debian-specific: no The FreeBSD team has found a bug in the way new crontabs were handled which allowed malicious users to display arbitrary crontab files on the local system. This only affects valid crontab files so can't be used to get access to /etc/shadow or something. crontab files are not especially secure anyway, as there are other ways they can leak. No passwords or similar sensitive data should be in there. We recommend you upgrade your cron packages. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
