Detail
| Raphael Marichez discovered a denial of service bug in how vixie-cron verifies crontab file integrity. A local user with the ability to create a hardlink to /etc/crontab could prevent vixie-cron from executing certain system cron jobs. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue. |
