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.
