Details

USN-5259-1 and USN-5259-2 fixed vulnerabilities in Cron. Unfortunately
that update was incomplete and could introduce a regression. This update
fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

It was discovered that the postinst maintainer script in Cron unsafely
handled file permissions during package install or update operations.
An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a privilege
escalation attack. (CVE-2017-9525)

Florian Weimer discovered that Cron incorrectly handled certain memory
operations during crontab file creation. An attacker could possibly use
this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2019-9704)

It was discovered that Cron incorrectly handled user input during crontab
file creation. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial
of service. (CVE-2019-9705)

It was discovered that Cron contained a use-after-free vulnerability in
its force_rescan_user function. An attacker could possibly use this issue
to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2019-9706)
