Category:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2023-0081)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'emacs' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2023-0081 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'emacs' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2023-0081 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: 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 etags program. For example, a victim may use the 'etags -u *' command (suggested in the etags documentation) in a situation where the current working directory has contents that depend on untrusted input. (CVE-2022-48337) An issue was discovered in GNU Emacs through 28.2. In ruby-mode.el, the ruby-find-library-file function has a local command injection vulnerability. The ruby-find-library-file function is an interactive function, and bound to C-c C-f. Inside the function, the external command gem is called through shell-command-to-string, but the feature-name parameters are not escaped. Thus, malicious Ruby source files may cause commands to be executed. (CVE-2022-48338) An issue was discovered in GNU Emacs through 28.2. htmlfontify.el has a command injection vulnerability. In the hfy-istext-command function, the parameter file and parameter srcdir come from external input, and parameters are not escaped. If a file name or directory name contains shell metacharacters, code may be executed. (CVE-2022-48339) Affected Software/OS: 'emacs' package(s) on Mageia 8. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 10.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
