Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'emacs21' package(s) announced via the USN-76-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Max Vozeler discovered a format string vulnerability in the 'movemail' utility of Emacs. By sending specially crafted packets, a malicious POP3 server could cause a buffer overflow, which could have been exploited to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user and the 'mail' group (since 'movemail' is installed as 'setgid mail'). Affected Software/OS: 'emacs21' package(s) on Ubuntu 4.10. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.5 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
