cron

[Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>]

Please schedule the following version of cron for inclusion in Lenny.  It 
fixes one potential security hole, one potential uninitialised variable 
dereference, and makes it work with the Lenny SE Linux code base.

This is one of the more important updates for SE Linux in Lenny.

cron (3.0pl1-105) unstable; urgency=low

  * Non-maintainer upload with permission.
  * Fixes an uninitialised data problem in the SE Linux code, also fixes a
    similar compile warning in code which is not related to SE Linux which
    isn't a bug (to avoid confusion).
    Closes: #472938
  * Updates the SE Linux patch to work with the new code base, the previous
    version was almost totally unusable with Lenny SE Linux.
    Closes: #499518
  * Fixes inadequate security checks in the SE Linux code path, the previous
    code might be vulnerable to exploit at some future time.
    Closes: #499584
