tag_insight = "The ee utility is a simple screen oriented text editor. This editor is
popular with a lot of users due to its ease of use.

The ispell_op function used by ee(1) while executing spell check
operations employs an insecure method of temporary file generation.
This method produces predictable file names based on the process ID
and fails to confirm which path will be over written with the user.

It should be noted that ispell does not have to be installed in order
for this to be exploited.  The option simply needs to be selected.";
