Non-Multilib

Ed normally uses the mktemp function to create temporary files in /tmp, but this function contains a vulnerability (see the section on Temporary Files at http://en.tldp.org/HOWTO/Secure-Programs-HOWTO/avoid-race.html). Apply the following patch to make Ed use mkstemp instead, a secure way to create temporary files:

patch -Np1 -i ../ed-0.2-mkstemp-1.patch

Compile the package:

./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix="" &&
make

Install the package

make install

Multilib

This package does not provide any libraries so only one installation is needed.
