Package: cron
Version: 3.0pl1-124
Severity: important

Looking at /var/log/syslog, I notice cron messages like:

Jun 26 06:53:01 host1 /USR/SBIN/CRON[13351]: (nagios) CMD
(/usr/bin/ganglia-nagios-bridge)
Jun 26 06:53:37 host1 /usr/sbin/cron[2369]: (CRON) STARTUP (fork ok)


In the first syslog string, "/USR/SBIN/CRON" is taken as the tag value

According to RFC 3164, s4.1.3

"The TAG is a string of ABNF alphanumeric characters that MUST NOT
exceed 32 characters."

Therefore, the "/" symbol is an illegal character in a tag name.
