CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT

PACKAGE   : joe
SUMMARY   : Symlink attack

DESCRIPTION
 "joe" is a small text editor which is also shipped with Conectiva
 Linux.
 If joe is closed in a non-standard way (such as receiving an external
 TERM signal), it will create a file called DEADJOE in the directory
 where it was called from. If this file is a symbolic link, it will be
 followed.
 An attacker could create a symbolic link called DEADJOE in a
 directory and link it to sensitive system files. If the root user
 runs joe from that directory, and the program exits abnormally, it
 would add data to this sensitive file, probably corrupting it.


SOLUTION
 All users of the joe editor should upgrade.
