Low severity, CVSS 2.1. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

fcronsighup in Fcron 2.0.1, 2.9.4, and possibly earlier versions allows local users to delete arbitrary files or create arbitrary empty files via a target filename with a large number of leading slash (/) characters such that fcronsighup does not properly append the intended fcrontab.sig to the resulting string.

Affected products

• Gentoo Linux: any version
• Thibault Godouet Fcron: version 2.0.1 only; version 2.9.4 only
