Summary
crontab by Paul Vixie uses predictable file names for a temporary file and does not properly ensure that the file is owned by the user executing the crontab -e command, which allows local users with write access to the crontab spool directory to execute arbitrary commands by creating world-writeable temporary files and modifying them while the victim is editing the file.
Exploit prediction (EPSS)
0.79% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 56% of all scored CVEs.
