I do not think there is such code in cronie or the vixie-cron shipped in RHEL or Fedora. This seems to be caused by a downstream patch applied to Debian/Ubuntu and, as also said in comment 1, Fedora/RHEL are not affected by this flaw as they simply don't have the vulnerable code. Created cronie tracking bugs for this issue: Affects: fedora-all [bug 1711927] Statement: This issue did not affect the versions of vixie-cron as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 as they did not include the vulnerable code. This issue did not affect the versions of cronie as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, 7, and 8 as they did not include the vulnerable code. |
