Category:	Fedora Local Security Checks
Title:	Fedora Core 5 FEDORA-2007-099 (ed)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to ed announced via advisory FEDORA-2007-099. Ed is a line-oriented text editor, used to create, display, and modify text files (both interactively and via shell scripts). For most purposes, ed has been replaced in normal usage by full-screen editors (emacs and vi, for example). Ed was the original UNIX editor, and may be used by some programs. In general, however, you probably don't need to install it and you probably won't use it. * Thu Jan 18 2007 Karsten Hopp 0.3-0.fc6 - rebuild for FC-6, fixes CVE-2006-6939 * Thu Jan 18 2007 Karsten Hopp 0.3-2 - fix man page permissions (#222581) * Mon Nov 13 2006 Karsten Hopp 0.3-1 - update to ed-0.3 * Wed Jul 12 2006 Jesse Keating - 0.2-38.2.2 - rebuild Solution: Apply the appropriate updates.
