NASL family Gentoo Local Security Checks NASL id GENTOO_GLSA-200411-27.NASL description The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200411-27 (Fcron: Multiple vulnerabilities) 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). Impact : A local attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to perform a Denial of Service on the system running Fcron. Workaround : Make sure the fcronsighup and fcrontab binaries are only executable by trusted users. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 15768 published 2004-11-19 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2004-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/15768 title GLSA-200411-27 : Fcron: Multiple vulnerabilities NASL family FreeBSD Local Security Checks NASL id FREEBSD_PKG_E480CCB26BC811D98DBE000A95BC6FAE.NASL description An iDEFENSE Security Advisory states : Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Fcron. - File contents disclosure - Configuration Bypass Vulnerability - File Removal and Empty File Creation Vulnerability - Information Disclosure Vulnerability last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 19148 published 2005-07-13 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2005-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/19148 title FreeBSD : fcron -- multiple vulnerabilities (e480ccb2-6bc8-11d9-8dbe-000a95bc6fae)
