CVSS v2.0

2.1

Low

Base vector

AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: vixie-cron versions prior to 4.1-r10

Description: The issue is related to insecure permissions in vixie-cron, which can be exploited locally to cause a denial of service. This can result in cron failure due to the creation of hard links, leading to a failed st nlink check in database.c. The estimated number of potentially affected devices is not specified.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 4.1-r10, update to version 4.1-r10 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the vulnerable database.c component to minimize the risk of exploitation.
