Debian Security Advisory: New version of cron releasedJan 29, 2001, 08:51 (0 Talkback[s])(Other stories by Martin Schulze) Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2001 23:49:54 +0100 Debian Security Advisory DSA-024-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze January 27, 2001 Package : cron Vulnerability : local insecure crontab handling Debian-specific: noThe FreeBSD team has found a bug in the way new crontabs were handled which allowed malicious users to display arbitrary crontab files on the local system. This only affects valid crontab files so can't be used to get access to /etc/shadow or something. crontab files are not especially secure anyway, as there are other ways they can leak. No passwords or similar sensitive data should be in there. We recommend you upgrade your cron packages.
