 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDKSA-2007:234
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Package : vixie-cron
 Date    : December 3, 2007
 Affected: 2007.0, 2007.1, 2008.0
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Problem Description:
 
 Raphael Marichez discovered a denial of service bug in how vixie-cron
 verifies crontab file integrity.  A local user with the ability
 to create a hardlink to /etc/crontab could prevent vixie-cron from
 executing certain system cron jobs.
 
 The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
