6.3 MEDIUM — AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:C/A:C

Description

The hack-local-variables function in Emacs before 22.2, when enable-local-variables is set to :safe, does not properly search lists of unsafe or risky variables, which might allow user-assisted attackers to bypass intended restrictions and modify critical program variables via a file containing a Local variables declaration.

Affected configurations

• gnu emacs (<= 22.1)
