RHSA-2000:110: Updated joe packages are available for Red Hat Linux 5.2, 6.x and 7
Description
Updated joe packages are available for Red Hat Linux 5.2, 6.x and 7.
When exiting joe in a nonstandard way (such as a system crash, closing an xterm, or a network connection going down), joe will unconditionally append its open buffers to the file "DEADJOE". This could be exploited by the creation of DEADJOE symlinks in directories where root would normally use joe. In this way, joe could be used to append garbage to potentially-sensitive files, resulting in a denial of service. Users of Red Hat Linux 6.x and 5.2 should also note that joe's configuration files have been moved from /usr/lib/joe to /etc/joe
