- CVEs with nessus.description==The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200606-07 (Vixie Cron: Privilege Escalation)
Roman Veretelnikov discovered that Vixie Cron fails to properly check whether it can drop privileges accordingly if setuid() in do_command.c fails due to a user exceeding assigned resource limits.
Impact :
Local users can execute code with root privileges by deliberately exceeding their assigned resource limits and then starting a command through Vixie Cron. This requires resource limits to be in place on the machine.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
