Hi, Recently there have been advisories and patches for SuSE and RedHat (and probably a few others) regarding a vulnerability in Vixie Cron. The details say that there's insufficient checking of the return value of setuid, which can lead to priviledge escalation and lets users run cron jobs with root priviledges. As far as I know, FreBSD also uses Vixie Cron (at least the cron(8) manpage

The problem with vixie cron is wider (and more funny) than I expected. Here''s my proggy which allows hiding files of any kind and size into crontab entries (remember, quota is ignored ;-): -- cron_put -- #!/bin/bash echo "Vixie cron 3.0.1 file storage - put utlility" echo "by Michal Zalewski <lcamtuf@staszic.waw.pl>" echo if [ "$1" = "" ];
