"Updated vixie-cron packages that fix a privilege escalation issue are
now available.

This update has been rated as having important security impact by the
Red Hat Security Response Team.

The vixie-cron package contains the Vixie version of cron. Cron is a
standard UNIX daemon that runs specified programs at scheduled times.

A privilege escalation flaw was found in the way Vixie Cron runs
programs; vixie-cron does not properly verify an attempt to set the
current process user id succeeded. It was possible for a malicious
local users who exhausted certain limits to execute arbitrary commands
as root via cron. (CVE-2006-2607)

All users of vixie-cron should upgrade to these updated packages,
which contain a backported patch to correct this issue."
