Gentoo has released security updates to address a vulnerability identified in Vixie Cron. This issue is caused by insecure permissions set on Gentoo, which could be exploited by a local user to create hard links to cron files that will trigger the "st_link" safety check and prevent the targeted cron file from being run when the database is restarted or reloaded.
