3.7 LOW — AV:L/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Description

crontab by Paul Vixie uses predictable file names for a temporary file and does not properly ensure that the file is owned by the user executing the crontab -e command, which allows local users with write access to the crontab spool directory to execute arbitrary commands by creating world-writeable temporary files and modifying them while the victim is editing the file.

Affected configurations

• paul vixie vixie cron 3.0 pl1
