CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------

PACKAGE   : ed
SUMMARY   : Insecure temporary file handling
DATE      : 2000-12-15 11:27:00
ID        : CLA-2000:359-2
RELEVANT
RELEASES  : 4.0, 4.0es, 4.1, 4.2, 5.0, 5.1, 6.0

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION
 The "ed" editor creates temporary files in an insecure way, making it
 vulnerable to symlink attacks.

NOTE
 The download links do the updated packages in the previous announcement
 (CLA-2000:359) were incorrectly pointing to PAM packages. This has now
 been fixed.
 We would like to thank Leonardo Dias for reporting the error to us.

SOLUTION
 All users of the "ed" program should upgrade.
