Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
ed versions prior to 1.0
Description
The issue is related to a heap-based buffer overflow in the
strip escapes function in signal.c in GNU ed, which can be exploited by context-dependent or user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long filename. This can lead to a violation of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. The exploitation of this issue can be carried out remotely.Recommendations
For versions prior to 1.0, update to version 1.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the
strip escapes function in signal.c to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using long filenames when invoking ed until the issue is resolved.Correção
