VULHUB ™

Debian Security Advisory - The problem that was previously reported for joe also occurs with other editors. When nano (a free pico clone) unexpectedly dies it tries a warning message to a new file with a predictable name. Unfortunately that file was not created safely which made nano vulnerable to a symlink attack. This has been fixed in version 0.9.23-1 (except for powerpc, which has version 0.9.23-1.1).
