<background>
<p>
Fcron is a command scheduler with extended capabilities over cron
and anacron.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
Due to design errors in the fcronsighup program, Fcron may allow a
local user to bypass access restrictions (CAN-2004-1031), view the
contents of root owned files (CAN-2004-1030), remove arbitrary files or
create empty files (CAN-2004-1032), and send a SIGHUP to any process. A
vulnerability also exists in fcrontab which may allow local users to
view the contents of fcron.allow and fcron.deny (CAN-2004-1033).
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A local attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to perform a
Denial of Service on the system running Fcron.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
Make sure the fcronsighup and fcrontab binaries are only
executable by trusted users.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Fcron users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=sys-process/fcron-2.0.2&quot;</code>
</resolution>
