Package: cronic
Version: 2-1
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole

Hi,

It looks like cronic uses very predictable temporary files (like
/tmp/cronic.out.$$) that depends only on PID:

--
        OUT=/tmp/cronic.out.$$
        ERR=/tmp/cronic.err.$$
        TRACE=/tmp/cronic.trace.$$

        set +e
        "$@" >$OUT 2>$TRACE
        RESULT=$?
        set -e
--

Once used in root cron job, it opens a way to write garbage to any file by
creating symlinks '/tmp/cronic.out.PID -> /etc/fstab'
