* SECURITY UPDATE: cron does not check the return code of setgid() and
  initgroups(), which under certain circumstances could cause applications
  to run with elevated group privileges. Note that the more serious issue
  of not checking the return code of setuid() was fixed in 3.0pl1-64.
  (LP: #46649)
  - do_command.c: check return code of setgid() and initgroups()
  - CVE-2006-2607

Fake sync with Debian. The previous merge wasn't necessary, Debian adopted
