CVE-2007-1856  (opens in a new tab)

Amendment

The Debian security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Debian:9.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cron package and not the cron package as distributed by Debian.

Vixie Cron before 4.1-r10 on Gentoo Linux is installed with insecure permissions, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (cron failure) by creating hard links, which results in a failed st_nlink check in database.c.
