Subject: [SECURITY] New version of joe released
Debian Security Advisory security@debian.org

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.
Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato
Potato was released for alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc and
sparc.
