Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (Advanced Server) version 2.1 - noarch Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 - noarch Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 2.1 - noarch Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 2.1 - noarch 3. Problem description: The semi package includes a MIME library for GNU Emacs and XEmacs used by the wl mail package. Tatsuya Kinoshita discovered a vulnerability in flim, an emacs library for working with Internet messages included in the semi package. Temporary files were being created without taking adequate precautions, and therefore a local user could potentially overwrite files with the privileges of the user running emacs. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0422 to this issue. Users of semi are advised to upgrade to these packages, which contain a backported patch fixing this issue. 4.
