Our current fix for this issue is not complete. A race condition still exists
between the time we lstat the file in question, and when we open the file.

This is now fixed with vixie-cron-4.1-8.EL3, available from:
http://people.redhat.com/~jvdias/cron/RHEL-3/4.1-8.EL3
The race condition has been circumvented: the fopen() is done as

for the file that was unlinked by the attack; since the modification
time had not changed, it would print
'crontab: no changes made to crontab'
and would not install the link as the new crontab.
Because this version crontab did not re-open the f
