CVE-2006-0539: Thibault Godouet Fcron

Medium severity, CVSS 4.6. EPSS: 0.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The convert-fcrontab program in fcron 3.0.0 might allow local users to gain privileges via a long command-line argument, which causes Linux glibc to report heap memory corruption, possibly because a strcpy in the strdup2 function can "overwrite some data."
