Debian changelog in Git:

cron (3.0pl1-130) unstable; urgency=medium

  * debian/postinst: Do not do check if /var/spool/cron/crontabs if empty
    (Closes: 892720, 892721, 892724)
  * debian/cron.service: 
      - Add dependency on nss-user-lookup.target in the definition which
        properly fixes the issues when cron is started before centralised user
        repositories are available (e.g. LDAP or Active Directory). This
        should avoid errors in syslog similar to the following: 
        "crond[PID]: (CRON) bad username (/etc/cron.d/JOBNAME)" 
        (Closes: #767016, #801384, #783665) (LP: #1593317)
      - Also remove Type=idle change added in previous upload, which was not
        the correct fix to apply.
      - Add automatic restart on failure (Closes: #834728)
  * debian/cron.init: Revert previous change - instead of adding $all, add sssd
    to the services that should be started/stopped before/after cron.
  * crontab.5: 
     - Add improvements and fixes to manpage provided by Philip Hands 
      (Closes: #792572)
     - Document that system wide defaults run from 6 am to 7 am.
      (Closes: #757191)
     - Document how asterisks are processed in dom and dow fields using
       patch provided by Christian Pekeler (Closes: #840601)
       Also see https://treats.wdt.io/cron-bug.html
  * debian/crontab.main, crontab.5: Add documentation comments similarly as to
    how Fedora / Red Hat Enterprise Linux documents (crontab package). This
    comments more descriptive and provides inexperienced users with a better
    understanding of the syntax.  (Closes: #705570)

    Document closure of Ubuntu bug

commit a10ab4e346e941aaa92f4b671a96895392b917af
Author: Javier Fernandez-Sanguino <jfs@debian.org>
Date:   Sun Mar 11 22:45:16 2018 +0100

    Fix for CVE-2017-9525: group crontab to root escalation via postinst as
    described by Alexander Peslyak (Solar Designer) in
    http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2017/06/08/3 (Closes: 864466)
    
    The fix: replaces the unconditional chown/chgrp of everything under
    /var/spool/cron/crontabs with a conditional solution. A file in that
    directory must now satisfy the following requirements:
      1. It must be a regular file
      2. It must have a hard link count of exactly 1
      3. It's name must match its owner (the daemon expects this)

Author: Javier Fernandez-Sanguino <jfs@debian.org>

    Properly transition system jobs to system_cronjob_t SELinux context and stop
    relying on refpolicy specific identifiers (Closes: #857662)
