Category:	Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDVSA-2008:034 (emacs)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to emacs announced via advisory MDVSA-2008:034. The hack-local-variable function in Emacs 22 prior to version 22.2, when enable-local-variables is set to ':safe', did not properly search lists of unsafe or risky variables, which could allow user-assisted attackers to bypass intended restrictions and modify critical program variables via a file containing a Local variables declaration (CVE-2007-5795 only affects Mandriva Linux 2008.0). A stack-based buffer overflow in emacs could allow user-assisted attackers to cause an application crash or possibly have other unspecified impacts via a large precision value in an integer format string specifier to the format function (CVE-2007-6109). The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues. Affected: 2007.0, 2007.1, 2008.0, Corporate 3.0, Corporate 4.0 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDVSA-2008:034 Risk factor : Critical CVSS Score: 10.0
