Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions HP-UX version 11.00

Description The issue allows local users to read arbitrary files via the -e option by creating a symlink to the target file during the crontab session, quitting the session, and reading the error messages that crontab generates.

Recommendations For HP-UX version 11.00, consider restricting access to the crontab command to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the -e option in crontab until a patch is available.
