Debian 2.2 DSA-041-1 Critical: Local Exploit In Joe's Editor

Christer Öberg of Wkit Security AB found a problem in joe (Joe's Own Editor).. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-041-1 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Debian -- Security Information Wichert Akkerman March 9, 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Package : joe Problem type : local exploit Debian-specific: no Christer Öberg of Wkit Security AB found a problem in joe (Joe's Own Editor). joe will look for a configuration file in three locations: the current directory, the users homedirectory ($HOME) and in /etc/joe. Since the configuration file can define commands joe will run (for example to check spelling) reading it from the current directory can be dangerous: an attacker can leave a .joerc file in a writable directory, which would be read when a unsuspecting user starts joe in that directory. This has been fixed in version 2.8-15.3 and we recommend that you upgrade your joe package immediately. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file.

Red Hat Linux 5.2, 6.x: RHSA-2000:110-06 Critical Symlink Exploit

Updated joe packages are available for Red Hat Linux 5.2, 6.x and 7.. ` --------------------------------------------------------------------- Red Hat, Inc. Security Advisory Synopsis: Updated joe packages are available for Red Hat Linux 5.2, 6.x and 7 Advisory ID: RHSA-2000:110-06 Issue date: 2000-11-17 Updated on: 2000-11-20 Product: Red Hat Linux Keywords: joe DEADJOE symlink vulnerability Cross references: N/A --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic: Updated joe packages are available for Red Hat Linux 5.2, 6.x and 7. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Linux 5.2 - i386, alpha, sparc Red Hat Linux 6.0 - i386, alpha, sparc Red Hat Linux 6.1 - i386, alpha, sparc Red Hat Linux 6.2 - i386, alpha, sparc Red Hat Linux 6.2EE - i386 Red Hat Linux 7.0 - i386 3. Problem description: 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 4. Solution: For each RPM for your particular architecture, run: rpm -Fvh [filename] where filename is the name of the RPM. 5. Bug IDs fixed ( for more info): N/A 6. RPMs required: Red Hat Linux 5.2: alpha: sparc: i386: sources: Red Hat Linux 6.0: sparc: i386: alpha: sources: Red Hat Linux 6.1: alpha: sparc: i386: sources: Red Hat Linux 6.2: alpha: sparc: i386: sources: Red Hat Linux 7.0: i386: sources: 7.
