Slackware-current ChangeLog (2022-12-08)

Thu Dec 8 22:48:34 UTC 2022

  • e/emacs-28.2-i586-2.txz
    GNU Emacs through 28.2 allows attackers to execute commands via shell
    metacharacters in the name of a source-code file, because lib-src/etags.c
    uses the system C library function in its implementation of the ctags
    program. For example, a victim may use the “ctags *” command (suggested in
    the ctags documentation) in a situation where the current working directory
    has contents that depend on untrusted input.

    (* Security fix *)
