Title:	Slackware: Security Advisory (SSA:2024-084-01)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'emacs' package(s) announced via the SSA:2024-084-01 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'emacs' package(s) announced via the SSA:2024-084-01 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: New emacs packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to fix security issues. Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/emacs-29.3-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded. 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 ctags program. For example, a victim may use the 'ctags *' command (suggested in the ctags documentation) in a situation where the current working directory has contents that depend on untrusted input. For more information, see: [link moved to references] (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Affected Software/OS: 'emacs' package(s) on Slackware 15.0, Slackware current. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.2 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
