Introduction to Ed
Ed is a line-oriented text editor. It is used to create, display, modify and otherwise manipulate text files, both interactively and via shell scripts. Ed isn't something which many people use. It's described here because it can be used by the patch program if you encounter an ed-based patch file. This happens rarely because diff-based patches are preferred these days.
Dependencies
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.
32Bit
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:
CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" ./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix="" &&
make
Install the package
make install
N32
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:
CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" ./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix="" &&
make
Install the package
make install
64Bit
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:
CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" ./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix="" &&
