6.8 MEDIUM — AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Description

lisp/files.el in Emacs 23.2, 23.3, 23.4, and 24.1 automatically executes eval forms in local-variable sections when the enable-local-variables option is set to :safe, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary Emacs Lisp code via a crafted file.

Affected configurations

• gnu emacs 23.2 • gnu emacs 23.3 • gnu emacs 23.4 • gnu emacs 24.1
