fcrontab Information Disclosure Vulnerability
March 3, 2010
CVE-2010-0792
============================================
==Description==
fcrontab, part of the fcron scheduler, is vulnerable to several race
conditions that allow a local attacker to use symbolic links to read
unauthorized files. On systems where fcrontab is installed with its
own "fcron" group, this allows an attacker to read other non-root
users' crontabs and fcron configuration files. On systems where
fcrontab is installed suid root, this allows an attacker to read arbitrary
files.
==Solution==
The developer has released a new version, 3.0.5, to address these
vulnerabilities. It is available for download on the developer's
website, http://fcron.free.fr. Users are advised to recompile from
source or download updated packages from downstream distributors
when they become available.
