Descriptions

The edit_cmd function in crontab.c in (1) cronie before 1.4.4 and (2) Vixie cron (vixie-cron) allows local users to change the modification times of arbitrary files, and consequently cause a denial of service, via a symlink attack on a temporary file in the /tmp directory.

La funcion edit_cmd en crontab.c en (1) cronie anteriores a v1.4.4 y (2) Vixie cron (vixie-cron) permite a usuarios locales cambiar las horas de modificación de ficheros de forma arbitraria, y consecuentemente producir una denegación de servicio, a través de un ataque de enlace simbólico en un fichero temporal en el directorio /tmp.
