Debian alert: Revised security fix for joe
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-003-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Wichert Akkerman December 1, 2000 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Package : joe Problem type : symlink attack Debian-specific: no The security fix for joe released on November 22, 2000 had a problem: it created the DEADJOE file securily but didn't write anything to it. This has been fixed in version 2.8.15.2 . This is the text from the previous advisory: When joe (Joe's Own Editor) dies due to a signal instead of a normal exit it saves a list of the files it is editing to a file called `DEADJOE' in its current directory. Unfortunately this wasn't done safely which made joe vulnerable to a symlink attack. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato - --------------------------------- Potato was released for alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc and sparc.
