Debian: 'joe' symlink vulnerability
Summary
Package : joe
Problem type : symlink attack
Debian-specific: no
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.
This has been fixed in version 2.8-15.1 .
wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
