How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:6 cronie-anacron.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cronie-anacron package and not the cronie-anacron package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The edit_cmd function in crontab.c in (1) cronie before 1.4.4 and (2) Vixie cron (vixie-cron) allows local users to change the modification times of arbitrary files, and consequently cause a denial of service, via a symlink attack on a temporary file in the /tmp directory.
