Package: cron
Version: 3.0pl1-116
Severity: normal
Hi,
Files in /etc/cron.d that have group write permissions will
not have their cronjobs run but if /etc/cron.d/ contains
a symlink to a file with group write permissions the cron
jobs in that file are run. After the content of the file
is changed cron will then refuse to run the jobs.
The following script demonstrates the problem:
---------------------<snip>-----------------
# Tidy up before we start.
rm -f /etc/cron.d/foo /tmp/foo
sleep 60
# Establish crontab
cat - >/tmp/foo <<EOF
* * * * * root printf 'Running\n'
EOF
chmod g=w /tmp/foo
ln -s /tmp/foo /etc/cron.d/
# Permissions are:
## ls -lh /tmp/foo
#-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 34 May 3 10:56 /tmp/foo
sleep 60
# Cron job runs (email delivered to root)
cat - >/tmp/foo <<EOF
#* * * * * root printf 'Running\n'
EOF
sleep 60
# Cron job does not run
cat - >/tmp/foo <<EOF
* * * * * root printf 'Running\n'
EOF
sleep 60
# Cron job still does not run
