+ <title>GNU Emacs, XEmacs: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Two vulnerabilities were found in GNU Emacs, possibly leading to
+ user-assisted execution of arbitrary code. One also affects edit-utils in
+ XEmacs.

+ <p>
+ GNU Emacs and XEmacs are highly extensible and customizable text
+ editors. edit-utils are miscellaneous extensions to XEmacs.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Morten Welinder reports about GNU Emacs and edit-utils in XEmacs: By
+ shipping a .flc accompanying a source file (.c for example) and setting
+ font-lock-support-mode to fast-lock-mode in the source file through
+ local variables, any Lisp code in the .flc file is executed without
+ warning (CVE-2008-2142).
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Romain Francoise reported a security risk in a feature of GNU Emacs
+ related to interacting with Python. The vulnerability arises because
+ Python, by default, prepends the current directory to the module search
+ path, allowing for arbitrary code execution when launched from a
+ specially crafted directory (CVE-2008-3949).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ Remote attackers could entice a user to open a specially crafted file
+ in GNU Emacs, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary Emacs Lisp
+ code or arbitrary Python code with the privileges of the user running
+ GNU Emacs or XEmacs.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All GNU Emacs users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-editors/emacs-22.2-r3"</code>
+ <p>
+ All edit-utils users should upgrade to the latest version:

+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-xemacs/edit-utils-2.39"</code>
