 * severity:  major => critical


Comment:

 I'm updating severity to critical because this bug destroys sites and is
 very hard to diagnose and mitigate once it happens (because a) you need to
 know where to look, b) it can bring down replication and run db servers
 out of space, and c) once you try to delete the cron entry, it'll just be
 written again by every PHP thread currently in memory).
