Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2015-12-22 | |
| fixes/Improve-waiting-for-spawned-editor.patch | Improve waiting for spawned editor Refine the process of waiting for the spawned editor. Also, block signals while waiting. Fix provided by Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org>. |
Georges Khaznadar <georgesk@debian.org> | no | 2015-12-22 | ||
| fixes/Avoid-predictable-filenames.patch | Avoid predictable filenames Prevent symlink attack by using mkstemp() instead of predictable filenames. Based on a fix originally provided by Daniel Jacobowitz. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | 2015-12-25 | ||
| fixes/Cleanup-tmpfiles.patch | Cleanup tmpfiles Install a signal handler that removes a temporarily created file upon exit. Based on a fix originally provided by Daniel Jacobowitz together with symlink attack prevention. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | 2015-12-25 | ||
| fixes/Set-umask-while-editing-crontab.patch | Set umask while editing crontab When editing/replacing a crontab, set the umask to 077. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | 2015-12-25 | ||
| fixes/crontab-must-be-regular-file.patch | crontab must be a regular file Ensure that the crontab opened in SPOOL_DIR a regular file. Fix provided by Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org>. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | 2015-12-25 | ||
| fixes/Allow-editors-with-tmpfiles.patch | Allow editors with tmpfiles Certain editors such as vi use temporary files for editing. In the past, this has caused problems with crontab's operation mode. Fix provided by Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org>. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2015-12-25 | |
| fixes/Improve-retry-prompt.patch | Improve retry prompt Include y/n in the prompt to indicate the expected input. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | 2015-12-25 | ||
| fixes/Dont-die-on-missing-spool-dir.patch | Don't die on missing spool dir The daemon shouldn't just die when spool dir is missing, for example when /var/spool is being moved around. This a recoverable situation. Fix provided by Justin Pryzby <justinpryzby@users.sourceforge.net>. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2015-12-25 | |
| fixes/Improve-mode-checks-for-crontabs.patch | Improve mode checks for crontabs Improve mode checks for crontabs to improve security. Specifically, check for: * Invalid owner * Invalid filetype * Insecure mode * Hard links Forwarded: no Last-Update: 2015-12-26 |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | 2015-12-26 | ||
| fixes/Legacy-porting-issues.patch | Legacy porting issues Various fixes, additions or updates regarding portability. These are quite numerous because the upstream code is from 1993, and does not even assume POSIX compatibility, which is why we declare it. Based on the changes originally made by Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org>. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | 2015-12-20 | ||
| fixes/Hurd-MAXPATHLEN-workaround.patch | Hurd MAXPATHLEN workaround Hurd does not define MAXPATHLEN. Fix provided by Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org>. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2015-12-20 | |
| fixes/Miscellaneous-coding-errors.patch | Miscellaneous code errors These are mostly one-line fixes of obvious errors such as running into undefined behaviour, missing arguments to functions, typos, name mix-ups, etc. Creating separate patches for them would be overkill. Originally by Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org>, occasionally modified to match what upstream eventually did for ISC cron v4.1. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | 2015-12-20 | ||
| fixes/Memory-allocation-issues.patch | Memory allocation issues Check the results of malloc(), strdup(), etc., and don't forget to free memory. Fixes provided by Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org> and extended for CVE-2019-9704. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2019-03-23 | |
| fixes/Use-safe-string-functions.patch | Use safe s string functions Use safe string functions instead of unsafe ones. Most of these fixes were originally taken from Red Hat's vixie-cron-3.0.1-24.src.rpm. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2015-12-20 | |
| fixes/Entry-symbolic-name-fixes.patch | Correct which/how flags are set for entries In the entry processing code, either set certain internal flags which are missing, or correct broken settings. Fix provided by Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org>. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2015-12-20 | |
| fixes/Limit-number-of-command-arguments.patch | Limit number of command arguments Set an upper limit for the number of arguments in a command, instead of hardcoding 100 (and not checking for that limit). Fix provided by Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org>. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | 2015-12-22 | ||
| fixes/Manpage-corrections-and-improvements.patch | Manpage corrections and improvements A collection of various corrections, clarifications, and additions to the manpages cron.8, crontab.1, and crontab.5 which are not specific to Debian's version of vixie cron. Fixes mostly provided originally by Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org>, with numerous smaller contributions by others. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2019-09-15 | |
| fixes/cron-report-missing-newline-before-EOF.patch | cron: report missing newline before EOF A missing newline before EOF caused the daemon to silently ignore the last line of a crontab. Print a warning instead. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2015-12-20 | |
| fixes/crontab-entry-parsing-fixes.patch | crontab entry parsing fixes Handle various entry parsing bugs: * Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org> noticed that whitespace between @symbolic names and commands weren't all being skipped * Steve Greenland noticed that get_number() did not detect invalid number specifications early enough * Steve Greenland discovered that invalid step sizes weren't being detected * Justin T. Pryzby <justinpryzby@users.sourceforge.net> discovered that steps without a range (an invalid specification) weren't detected |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2015-12-21 | |
| fixes/crontab-detect-missing-eol.patch | crontab: warn about missing newline Make crontab(1) refuse to add/replace a crontab with a missing newline before EOF. The daemon will either not execute the last entry, or refuse to execute the entire crontab (depending on the implementation). |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2015-12-22 | |
| fixes/crontab-allow-deny-logic-fix.patch | crontab allow/deny logic fix Looking at config.h and pathnames.h, it is evident that the intention was to always allow root to execute jobs. Furthermore, the conditional tests for the ALLOW and DENY files were incorrect. Fix provided by Steve Grubb as part of another patch, then further improved by Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña <jfs@debian.org> and Christian Kastner. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2019-03-23 | |
| fixes/Entry-time-range-check.patch | Entry time range check Explicitly check for sane values in time ranges. Certain invalid combinations of ranges and steps weren't being detected, eg: 5-64/30 * * * * touch /dev/null contains an invalid minute "64". |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2015-12-22 | |
| fixes/Abort-processing-of-crontabs-with-errors.patch | Abort processing of crontabs with errors Discard crontabs with syntax errors, and log an error. Discarding the entire crontab might seem harsh, but crontabs can be used as an attack vector, as evident by the gluck.debian.org compromise in 2006. Granted, that attack exploited the /etc/cron.d package directory feature, but it would seem prudent to err on the side of caution in this case. The initial fix was originally provided by Faidon Liambotis, and has been slightly extended. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2015-12-20 | |
| fixes/Check-privilege-drop-results-CVE-2006-2607.patch | Check privilege drop results (CVE-2006-2607) Check the results of privilege dropping operations, and bail out if they fail. Documented as CVE-2006-2607. Fixes provided by Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org>, and extended by Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña <jfs@debian.org>. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | ||
| fixes/Drop-privileges-when-sending-mail.patch | Drop privileges when sending mail Drop privileges when sending mail. It is unnecessary to send them as root. Extension of a fix originally provided by Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org> and extended by Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña <jfs@debian.org>. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | 2015-12-22 | ||
| fixes/Proper-use-of-error-functions.patch | Proper use of error functions perror is called after library functions besides the one that failed, and without saving/restoring errno or otherwise referencing the correct value. Fix provided by Justin Pryzby <justinpryzby@users.sourceforge.net>. Last Update: 2015-12-22 |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2015-12-22 | |
| fixes/Ensure-stdin-is-open.patch | Ensure stdin is open Ensure stdin is open on startup. This is needed by the job execution later on. Fix originally provided by Mustafa Mahudhawala for Red Hat's vixie cron. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2015-12-22 | |
| fixes/Redirect-daemon-standard-streams-to-dev-null.patch | Redirect daemon standard streams to /dev/null Redirect the daemon's stdin/stdout/stderr from resp. to /dev/null. Fixes provided by Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org>. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | 2015-12-22 | ||
| fixes/Handle-escapes-in-job-input.patch | Handle escapes in job input Certain escape sequences are not handled correctly. Fix supplied by Topi Miettinen, with OpenBSD indicated as the original source of it. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2015-12-22 | |
| fixes/Tolerate-empty-EDITOR-and-VISUAL-envvars.patch | Tolerate empty EDITOR and VISUAL envvars Treat empty EDITOR and VISUAL environment variables as if they were unset. Fix provided by Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org>. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2015-12-22 | |
| fixes/Use-strftime-to-print-time.patch | Use strftime to print time Fix provided by Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org>, possibly with OpenBSD as the original source (the subversion history is ambiguous). |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | 2015-12-22 | ||
| fixes/fsync-to-check-for-full-disk.patch | fsync to check for full disk Make sure that writing the crontab actually succeeded. Based on an initial fix by Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org>. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2015-12-22 | |
| features/Add-MAILFROM-environment-variable.patch | Add support for MAILFROM variable This patch lets cron use the MAILFROM variable to set the sender as which it will send emails. MAILFROM has the same semantics as the same environment variable in cronie. Contributed by Georges Khaznadar <georgesk@debian.org> : a test in debian/tests/check_mailfrom_mailto |
Laurent Combe <laurent.combe@free.fr> | no | debian | https://github.com/cronie-crond/cronie/blob/master/src/do_command.c | 2021-02-16 |
| fixes/Missing_bistring_h.patch | Missing_bistring_h [proposed by Stefanos Chaliasos on 2019-12-22] add bitstring.h as a dependency to CRON_OBJ and CRONTAB_OBJ. The build can cause incorrect results when the project is incrementally built. For example, any changes in bitstring.h will not cause the object files to be rebuilt. |
Georges Khaznadar <georgesk@debian.org> | no | 2023-10-11 | ||
| features/protect-list.patch | protect-list manage characters \r and \b in a special way, since one could use them to obfuscate a crontab. This patch should close #585552 A test has been designed for autopkgtest: file debian/tests/check-listings-protection |
Georges Khaznadar <georgesk@debian.org> | no | 2023-10-11 | ||
| fixes/Enforce-maximum-crontab-line-count.patch | Enforce maximum crontab line count As any user can create a crontab that is read by the cron daemon, it is possible for a user to cause a DoS via memory exhaustion by creating an excessivly large crontab. This was classified as a security issue with CVE-2019-9705. As a measure to prevent this, limit the size of individual crontab files to 1000 lines. While it is still technically possible for a user to create a larger crontab (for example, by creating a single, very long comment), this should not affect the daemon, as it simply skips over comments. For crontab entries (for which the daemon allocates memory), the maximum command length is already limited to 998 characters, so these allocations are already kept in check. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | 2019-03-23 | ||
| fixes/Swap-both-uid-and-gid.patch | Swap both uid and gid When swapping uid, also swap the gid. Fix provided by Solar Designer. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | 2015-12-26 | ||
| fixes/Dont-run-reboot-jobs-on-restart.patch | Don't run reboot jobs on restart Don't run reboot jobs when restarting the cron daemon. Fix provided by Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org>. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2015-12-26 | |
| fixes/Backport-crontab-envparser-from-v4.1.patch | Backport crontab envparser from v4.1 The 3.0 parser is crude and may misparse crontab entries containing equal signs (=). This patch backports the parser from the 4.1 release. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | backport, http://ftp.isc.org/isc/cron/cron_4.1.shar | 2015-12-26 |
| fixes/Send-proper-8-bit-emails.patch | Send proper 8-bit emails Cron sends 8-bit emails, so it needs to send these mails as 8BITMIME. This involves passing -B8BITMIME so that sendmail knows what kind of data to expect, as well as sending an appropriate MIME-Version and Content-Transfer-Encoding header. Without these changes, mail servers that reject non-MIME 8-bit emails will reject cron's messages. Fix provided by brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net>. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2015-12-26 | |
| fixes/Dont-silently-truncate-commands.patch | Don't silently truncate commands Commands have a maximum length. When hitting this maximum, generate an error instead of silently truncated the command. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2015-12-26 | |
| fixes/Use-basename-for-syslog-tag.patch | Use basename for syslog tag Use basename of argv[0] as syslog tag. This avoids the inclusion of the "/" character, which is a violation of RFC 3164. The rule files of package logcheck-database do not have to be updated; they already considered the dirname of argv[0] to be an optional prefix. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2015-12-26 | |
| fixes/Improve-denied-user-warning.patch | Improve denied user warning Produce a different error message when root invokes -u for a user who was denied cron access, and don't log a message. Contributed by Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña <jfs@debian.org>. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2016-01-15 | |
| fixes/Permit-user-to-use--u-option-on-self.patch | Permit user to use -u option on self Instead of entirely prohibiting non-root users to use the -u option, allow them to use it on themselves, as this should be a null-op. Fix provided by Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org>. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | 2015-12-26 | ||
| fixes/crontab-wo-arguments-reads-from-stdin.patch | crontab without arguments reads from stdin If crontab is run without argument, then POSIX mandates that it should read the crontab from stdin. See http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/crontab.html Fix provided by TANIGUCHI Takaki <takaki@asis.media-as.org>. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2016-01-15 | |
| fixes/Pam-group-after-fork.patch | Runs PAM_REINITIALIZE_CRED after fork to apply correct rights to child process. The feature provided by this patch is tested with the script debian/tests/check-messages-sent-by-cron (second part of the script) |
Jorge Rocha Gualtieri <jorge@jrg.com.br> | no | debian | 2021-03-01 | |
| features/Debian-build-process-customizations.patch | Debian build process customizations Build process customizations for building under Debian. Most notably, disable upstream's optimization and stripping; our build process does that. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | not-needed | 2015-12-26 | ||
| features/Debian-manpage-and-doc-updates.patch | Debian manpage and doc updates A collection of various corrections, clarifications, and additions to the manpages cron.8, crontab.1, and crontab.5 which are not specific to Debian's version of vixie cron. Fixes mostly provided originally by Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org>, with numerous smaller contributions by others. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | not-needed | 2016-01-16 | ||
| features/Debian-paths-and-commands.patch | Debian paths and commands User pathnames and commands specific to Debian. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | not-needed | debian | 2016-01-15 | |
| features/Debian-sendmail-options.patch | Debian sendmail options Modify the options passed to sendmail: * Drop -odi option (don't force immediate delivery) * Drop -or0s option (don't override read timeout) * Add -i option (Don't terminate on "." by itself) |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2016-01-07 | |
| features/Improved-debugging-options-handling.patch | Improved debugging options handling When building cron with debugging support, include the ability to print the debug options. When building without support, drop the debugging option from option parsing. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | 2016-01-07 | ||
| features/PAM-support-for-jobs.patch | PAM support for jobs Add support for PAM for job execution. Contributed by Topi Miettinen <Topi.Miettinen@nic.fi>. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2016-01-07 | |
| features/PAM-pam_env-support-for-jobs.patch | PAM pam_env support for jobs Add support for pam_env for job execution. Contributed by Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org>. IMPORTANT NOTE: This currently only (or mostly) affects commands launched by crontab entries. Other commands run (such as mail notification via MAILTO) do not use this code. This is not really that big of an issue (eg. why would anyone force MAILTO via /etc/environment), but it should be documented somewhere. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2016-01-07 | |
| features/SELinux-support.patch | SELinux support Add SELinux support. Patch contributed by Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org>, with additional fixes by Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au> and Laurent Bigonville <bigon@debian.org>. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2019-09-15 | |
| features/Linux-Audit-support.patch | Linux Audit support Add support for logging using the Linux Auditing System. Contributed by Steve Grubb. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2015-01-07 | |
| features/Drop-in-drop.d-directory-support.patch | Drop-in cron.d directory support Add support for /etc/cron.d, a drop-in directory for packages. This involves numerous features, such as: * Efficiently detecting changes * LSB-conform naming convention * Security concerns Contributed by Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org>. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | 2016-01-09 | ||
| features/Better-timeskip-handling.patch | Better timeskip handling Better handling of time skips (when the clock jumps either forwards or backwards), in particular with regards to/from daylight savings time. Originally from OpenBSD patches supplied by Topi Miettinen. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2016-01-09 | |
| features/Logging-enhancements.patch | Logging enhancements Minor enhancements to logging, namely: * Log to syslog exclusively * Log the location of the PID file * Log broken system crontabs (user crontabs are checked by crontab(1)) Contributed by Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org>. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2016-01-09 | |
| features/Make-crontab-SGID-crontab.patch | Make crontab SGID crontab Improve security by making crontab(1) SGID crontab instead of SUID root. Specifically: * Drop the call to set_cron_uid(), which is just a wrapper to seteuid() * setgid() to the real group ID before exec'ing the editor * Create spool dir with the expected permissions Nevertheless, Tomi Miettinen's advice in #18333 of not SETing at all, and using sockets instead should be taken into consideration. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2016-01-10 | |
| features/Enable-setting-content-headers-in-email.patch | Enable setting content headers in email Set the ContentType: header based on the system locale or cron's environment, if available. Implementation taken from Fedora Core's version of cron. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2016-01-10 | |
| features/Open-close-syslog-on-every-call.patch | Open/close syslog on every call Open and close syslog on every call to log_it(). This ancient change seems to stem from a time when there were various conflicts with PAM -- for example PAM apparently changed the facility from LOG_CRON to LOG_AUTH. I could not reproduce this and other issues alluded to, and this fix is not present in other Vixie cron derivatives. However, those other derivatives are based on 4.1, so it might be possible that this fix is still needed for 3.0, which is why I'm keeping it for now. Contributed by Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org>. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | 2019-03-07 | ||
| features/Enable-running-daemon-in-foreground.patch | Enable running daemon in foreground Enable running the daemon in the foreground by specifying -f as an option. Contributed by Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org>. |

| features/Suppress-crontab-header-by-default.patch | Suppress crontab header by default Change the default behaviour including a warning header when editing a crontab to not doing so. This makes `crontab -l | crontab -` idempotent. Adding the header can be fored by exporting CRONTAB_NOHEADER=N. Contributed by Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org>. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | 2016-01-15 | ||
| features/Prompt-on-crontab-deletion.patch | Prompt on crontab deletion Add an option -i that modifies the -r option to prompt the user for a y/n response before actually deleting the crontab. Contributed by Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña <jfs@debian.org>. |

| features/Add-helpful-header-to-new-crontab.patch | Add helpful header to new crontab When creating a new crontab, prepend a header with a helpful description of the crontab(5) syntax. Contributed by Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña <jfs@debian.org>. Contributed by Georges Khaznadar <georgesk@debian.org> : this patch's feature is tested by debian/tests/check_significant_header |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | 2016-01-15 | ||
| features/Avoid-a-mailcmd-timeout.patch | Avoid a mailcmd timeout Long running cron jobs can cause sendmail (or whatever compatible mailer is installed) to time out. By writing children's output to a temporary file and waiting for them to terminate instead, this situation can be avoided. Contributed by Justin Pryzby <justinpryzby@users.sourceforge.net>. |
Christian Kastner <ckk@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2016-01-15 | |
| features/Dont-fail-on-missing-MTA.patch | Don't fail on missing MTA Don't fail silently when MTA is not installed. When this is the case (MAILCMD is not available), the attempted piping of job output to the MTA fails fatally as soon as the pipe's buffer is full. This adds a check to see if MAILCMD is available before proceeding to pipe output to it. |
Christian Kastner <debian@kvr.at> | no | debian | 2016-01-15 | |
| fixes/Check_for_timezone_changes.patch | Check_for_timezone_changes if the timezone for a system is changed while cron is running, and the timezone change is _not_ due to a DST event, cron is unaware of the change and will continue using the old `GMToff` value until it is restarted. This patch checks for the timezone unconditionnaly See bug #1019716: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1019716 |
Georges Khaznadar <georgesk@debian.org> | no | 2023-10-11 | ||
| features/No-multiple-timezones.patch | No-multiple-timezones This patch adds an example for people who wish to address the multiple timezone issue, without adding any new feature inside crontabs or cron itself. It modifies only the file crontab.5 |

| docs/more_examples_for_crontab.patch | This patch modifies crontab.5 in order to give useful information about: - using eval command, which makes easier to express environment assignments inside commands to call with cron. - using leading zeroes instead of spaces to line up columns =================================================================== |

| features/check_e_mails.patch | Check for forbidden characters, like spaces. Example: MAILTO=a@example.con, b@example.com is wrong, since there is a space after the comma |

| features/Recover-from-crontab-errors.patch | Recover from crontab errors The way the current change detection logic notices changes to crontabs, files with mode or syntax errors, and broken symlinks do not automatically get added back once the problem is resolved. This solution forces a rescan at next-wakeup. The symlink recovery is only relevant to /etc/cron.d because SPOOL_DIR does not allow symlinks. This solution originally contained an error that was classified as a security issue with CVE-2019-9706. |

| features/Selective-logging.patch | Selective logging This implements a fine-grained control over what the cron daemon logs when it executes jobs. This is driven via the '-L' command line option, which accepts a bitmask of values for logging the start, end, failure and PID of jobs. The following things can be logged: * Start of cron jobs * End of cron jobs * Failed jobs * Include PID of cron job in messages The default is to log the start of jobs. Initially contributed by Steve Fosdick <dbugs@pelvoux.nildram.co.uk>. |

| features/Check-orphaned-crontabs-for-adoption.patch | Check orphaned crontabs for adoption. Change the default behaviour of permanently ignoring crontabs with an invalid owner (ie, getpwnam() fails) to checking for adoption every time cron wakes up. This makes more sense as nowadays such failures are often traced back to temporary issues, especially in the context of LDAP lookups and name-caching daemons. |
