 desc = 'The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200410-07
(ed: Insecure temporary file handling)


    ed insecurely creates temporary files in world-writeable directories with
    predictable names. Given that ed is used in various system shell scripts,
    they are by extension affected by the same vulnerability.
  
Impact

    A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary files
    directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. When ed is
    called, this would result in file access with the rights of the user
    running the utility, which could be the root user.
  
Workaround

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution: 
    All ed users should upgrade to the latest version:
    # emerge sync
    # emerge -pv ">=sys-apps/ed-0.2-r4"
    # emerge ">=sys-apps/ed-0.2-r4"
  

Risk factor : Medium
