Category:	Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2007:234 (vixie-cron)
Summary:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2007:234 (vixie-cron)
Description:	The remote host is missing an update to vixie-cron announced via advisory MDKSA-2007:234. Raphael Marichez discovered a denial of service bug in how vixie-cron verifies crontab file integrity. A local user with the ability to create a hardlink to /etc/crontab could prevent vixie-cron from executing certain system cron jobs. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue. Affected: 2007.0, 2007.1, 2008.0 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2007:234 Risk factor : Medium
