There was a patch posted to -audit a few days ago which is yet
unreviewed but claims to address the issue. Note that we've been
unable to replicate the claimed full impact of the problem on FreeBSD
- the impact seems to be limited to reading files which are a valid
cron job syntax, meaning basically files which are entirely commented
out, or actual cron jobs (e.g. those owned by other users). Still a
problem, though.
