New tool? Tell us	Updated Joe packages are available 26 Nov. 2000    Summary 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 was done in an unsafe manner, which made 'Joe' vulnerable to a symlink attack. We reported this vulnerability in a previous advisory. See: Joe Editor can be used to gain access to restricted files for more information about the vulnerability.   Credit: The information has been provided by RedHat Bugzilla, Debian security announce, Linux Mandrake Security Team and Greg KH.    Details Protect your website!
