How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 cron to version 3.0pl1-64 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cron package and not the cron package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

do_command.c in Vixie cron (vixie-cron) 4.1 does not check the return code of a setuid call, which might allow local users to gain root privileges if setuid fails in cases such as PAM failures or resource limits, as originally demonstrated by a program that exceeds the process limits as defined in /etc/security/limits.conf.
