Detail
| A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Ubuntu 11.10 Summary: Emacs could be made to run programs as your login if it opened a specially crafted file. Software Description: - emacs23: The GNU Emacs editor (with GTK+ user interface) Details: Hiroshi Oota discovered that Emacs incorrectly handled search paths. If a user were tricked into opening a file with Emacs, a local attacker could execute arbitrary Lisp code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2012-0035) Paul Ling discovered that Emacs incorrectly handled certain eval forms in local-variable sections. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted file with Emacs, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary Lisp code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2012-3479) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: Ubuntu 11.10: After a standard system update you need to restart Emacs to make all the necessary changes.
