Category:	FreeBSD Local Security Checks
Title:	FreeBSD Security Advisory (FreeBSD-SA-06:02.ee.asc)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update to the system; as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-06:02.ee.asc
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update to the system as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-06:02.ee.asc Vulnerability Insight: The ee utility is a simple screen oriented text editor. This editor is popular with a lot of users due to its ease of use. The ispell_op function used by ee(1) while executing spell check operations employs an insecure method of temporary file generation. This method produces predictable file names based on the process ID and fails to confirm which path will be over written with the user. It should be noted that ispell does not have to be installed in order for this to be exploited. The option simply needs to be selected. Solution: Upgrade your system to the appropriate stable release or security branch dated after the correction date. CVSS Score: 2.1 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
