Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2006:0117
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2006:0117. The vixie-cron package contains the Vixie version of cron. Cron is a standard UNIX daemon that runs specified programs at scheduled times. A bug was found in the way vixie-cron installs new crontab files. It is possible for a local attacker to execute the crontab command in such a way that they can view the contents of another user's crontab file. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the name CVE-2005-1038 to this issue. This update also fixes an issue where cron jobs could start before their scheduled time. All users of vixie-cron should upgrade to this updated package, which contains backported patches and is not vulnerable to these issues. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2006-0117.html Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 2.1
