                    Linux-Mandrake Security Update Advisory
    ________________________________________________________________________

    Package name: joe
    Date: March 6th, 2001
    Advisory ID: MDKSA-2001:026

    Affected versions: 6.0, 6.1, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, Corporate Server 1.0.1
    ________________________________________________________________________

    Problem Description:

     The joe text editor looks for configuration files in the current
     working directory, the user's home directory, and finally in /etc/joe.
     A malicious user could create their own .joerc configuration file and
     attempt to get other users to use it. If this were to happen, the user
     could potentially execute malicious commands with their own user ID and
     privileges. This update removes joe's ability to use a .joerc
     configuration file in the current working directory.
    ________________________________________________________________________

    Please verify the update prior to upgrading to ensure the integrity of
    the downloaded package. You can do this with the command:
      rpm --checksig package.rpm
    You can get the GPG public key of the Linux-Mandrake Security Team at
      http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/security/RPM-GPG-KEYS
    If you use MandrakeUpdate, the verification of md5 checksum and GPG
    signature is performed automatically for you.

    To upgrade automatically, use MandrakeUpdate.

    If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package from one
    of our FTP server mirrors and upgrade with "rpm -Fvh *.rpm".

    You can download the updates directly from one of the mirror sites
    listed at:

      http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3.

    Updated packages are available in the "updates/[ver]/RPMS/" directory.
    For example, if you are looking for an updated RPM package for
    Linux-Mandrake 7.2, look for it in "updates/7.2/RPMS/". Updated source
    RPMs are available as well, but you generally do not need to download
    them.

    Please be aware that sometimes it takes the mirrors a few hours to
    update.
