Package: cron Version: 3.0pl1-97 Severity: normal Tags: patch The included cronjobs, especially the run-parts from /etc/crontab shouldn't be run with the starting directory of /root
perl -npi~ -e 's%run-parts% cd / && run-parts%' /etc/crontab should be sufficient for /etc/crontab; the other included cronjobs can be modified accordingly. Rationale: SELinux logs unallowed access attempts to /root for security reasons. Since these scripts don't need access there they shouldn't accidentially access it. Maybe setting HOME=/tmp/cron or something like that is even better. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17.7 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages cron depends on: ii adduser 3.97 Add and remove users and groups ii debianutils 2.17 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpam0g 0.79-3.2 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libselinux1 1.30.26-2 SELinux shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.1-14 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip Versions of packages cron recommends: ii postfix [mail-transport-agent 2.3.2-1 A high-performance mail transport -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
