"Christer Oberg of Wkit Security AB found a problem in joe (Joe's Own
Editor). joe will look for a configuration file in three locations:
The current directory, the users homedirectory ($HOME) and in
/etc/joe. Since the configuration file can define commands joe will
run (for example to check spelling) reading it from the current
directory can be dangerous: An attacker can leave a .joerc file in a
writable directory, which would be read when a unsuspecting user
starts joe in that directory."
