+ <background>
+ <p>GNU Emacs is a highly extensible and customizable text editor.</p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in GNU Emacs:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>When ‘global-ede-mode’ is enabled, EDE in Emacs automatically
+ loads a Project.ede file from the project directory (CVE-2012-0035).
+ </li>
+ <li>When ‘enable-local-variables’’ is set to ‘:safe’, Emacs
+ automatically processes eval forms (CVE-2012-3479).
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file,
+ possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of
+ the process or a Denial of Service condition.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All GNU Emacs 24.x users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-editors/emacs-24.1-r1"
+ </code>

+ <p>All GNU Emacs 23.x users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
