Vixie Cron ST_Nlink Check Local Denial of Service Vulnerability

Vixie Cron is prone to a local denial-of-service vulnerability.

This issue occurs when attackers create hard file links to cron files belonging to both privileged and normal users.

A local attacker may exploit this issue to prevent cron files owned by privileged and non-privileged users from being executed at startup or on the next reload of the cron database.

Vixie Cron versions prior to 4.1-r10 are vulnerable.
