Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2000:123 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE : New ed packages available 2000-12-06 05:00:00 UTC

Description Jarno Huuskonen 2000-11-29 08:15:50 UTC 
Noticed from www.linuxtoday.com that debian has fixed ed.

Ed uses mktemp+fopen (buf.c:209) to create a temporary file.

Fix would be to use mkstemp+fdopen.
