Package: cron Version: 3.0pl1-105 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Each time cron tries to execute a job from /etc/cron.d (or any other crontab) I see syslog entries like these: some-machine:~# grep 'segfault at 0 ip 0 sp' /var/log/syslog Sep 22 07:17:01 some-machine kernel: [404176.341433] cron[18161]: segfault at 0 ip 0 sp 7fffcfae1148 error 14 in cron[400000+9000] Sep 22 08:17:02 some-machine kernel: [407776.362241] cron[18442]: segfault at 0 ip 0 sp 7fffcfae1148 error 14 in cron[400000+9000] Sep 22 09:17:01 some-machine kernel: [411375.385160] cron[18708]: segfault at 0 ip 0 sp 7fffcfae1148 error 14 in cron[400000+9000] Sep 22 10:17:01 some-machine kernel: [414975.407988] cron[18972]: segfault at 0 ip 0 sp 7fffcfae1148 error 14 in cron[400000+9000] Sep 22 11:17:01 some-machine kernel: [418575.426817] cron[19335]: segfault at 0 ip 0 sp 7fffcfae1148 error 14 in cron[400000+9000] Sep 22 11:40:01 some-machine kernel: [419955.445754] cron[19672]: segfault at 0 ip 0 sp 7fffcfae1148 error 14 in cron[400000+9000] Sep 22 11:45:01 some-machine kernel: [ 106.854326] cron[2444]: segfault at 0 ip 0 sp 7fffc649e858 error 14 in cron[400000+9000] Sep 22 11:50:01 some-machine kernel: [ 406.871556] cron[2471]: segfault at 0 ip 0 sp 7fffc649e858 error 14 in cron[400000+9000] Sep 22 11:55:01 some-machine kernel: [ 706.884122] cron[2495]: segfault at 0 ip 0 sp 7fffc649e858 error 14 in cron[400000+9000] Sep 22 12:00:01 some-machine kernel: [ 1006.896166] cron[2519]: segfault at 0 ip 0 sp 7fffc649e858 error 14 in cron[400000+9000] Sep 22 12:05:01 some-machine kernel: [ 1306.931386] cron[2543]: segfault at 0 ip 0 sp 7fffc649e858 error 14 in cron[400000+9000] Sep 22 12:10:01 some-machine kernel: [ 1606.943122] cron[2567]: segfault at 0 ip 0 sp 7fffc649e858 error 14 in cron[400000+9000] Sep 22 12:15:01 some-machine kernel: [ 1907.027885] cron[2591]: segfault at 0 ip 0 sp 7fffc649e858 error 14 in cron[400000+9000] Sep 22 12:17:01 some-machine kernel: [ 2027.061703] cron[2601]: segfault at 0 ip 0 sp 7fffc649e858 error 14 in cron[400000+9000] Sep 22 12:20:01 some-machine kernel: [ 2207.088094] cron[2616]: segfault at 0 ip 0 sp 7fffc649e858 error 14 in cron[400000+9000] Sep 22 12:25:01 some-machine kernel: [ 2507.104550] cron[2640]: segfault at 0 ip 0 sp 7fffc649e858 error 14 in cron[400000+9000] Sep 22 12:30:01 some-machine kernel: [ 2807.120317] cron[2664]: segfault at 0 ip 0 sp 7fffc649e858 error 14 in cron[400000+9000] Sep 22 12:35:01 some-machine kernel: [ 3107.135050] cron[2688]: segfault at 0 ip 0 sp 7fffc649e858 error 14 in cron[400000+9000] Sep 22 12:40:01 some-machine kernel: [ 3407.178410] cron[2712]: segfault at 0 ip 0 sp 7fffc649e858 error 14 in cron[400000+9000] Sep 22 12:45:01 some-machine kernel: [ 3707.188998] cron[2775]: segfault at 0 ip 0 sp 7fffc649e858 error 14 in cron[400000+9000] Sep 22 12:55:04 some-machine kernel: [ 4309.199773] cron[3982]: segfault at 0 ip 0 sp 7ffff6b84a38 error 14 in cron[400000+9000] Since there's no real replacement for cron in debian I consider this to be pretty critical. Also, this is a VMWare guest running on ESX4.1.
