There was an advisory on bugtraq today for a buffer overflow in the version of cron included with RedHat 4.2, 5.0, 6.0.

I was wondering if anyone at SuSE would care to comment if we are vulnerable as well?

We should have a fixed package available on our FTP server... but it will take some time till the advisory will be released.
