Kevin -- I don't know about joe, but you can tell vim to prohibit shell escapes. Either call it as rvim or call it with the -Z flag. Check the man page for details or check the online documentation (http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/starting.html).
Good question, though. An important part of security is dreaming up questions that may not have been asked before. -- Bhaskar -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Kevin Toppenberg Sent: Sun 6/12/2005 9:52 PM To: Hardhats Sourceforge Cc: Subject: [Hardhats-members] Using linux editor in Vista -- security risk? Hey all, I just realized that using a linux editor in vista may pose a security risk. The joe editor (and I believe the vim editor as well) allow a user to shell out to a command line. This might pose a security risk. Just a FYI. Kevin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
