Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'emacs' package(s) announced via the SSA:2025-057-01 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'emacs' package(s) announced via the SSA:2025-057-01 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-30.1-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes two security issues: Fix shell injection vulnerability in man.el (CVE-2025-1244). New user option 'trusted-content' to allow potentially dangerous features. This option lists those files and directories whose content Emacs should consider as sufficiently trusted to run any part of the code contained therein even without any explicit user request. For example, Flymake's backend for Emacs Lisp consults this option and disables itself with an 'untrusted content' warning if the file is not listed. Emacs Lisp authors should note that a major or minor mode must never set this option to the ':all' value. This option is used to fix CVE-2024-53920. Thanks to pbslxw for the heads-up.

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
