NASL family Gentoo Local Security Checks NASL id GENTOO_GLSA-200902-06.NASL description The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200902-06 (GNU Emacs, XEmacs: Multiple vulnerabilities) Morten Welinder reports about GNU Emacs and edit-utils in XEmacs: By shipping a .flc accompanying a source file (.c for example) and setting font-lock-support-mode to fast-lock-mode in the source file through local variables, any Lisp code in the .flc file is executed without warning (CVE-2008-2142). Romain Francoise reported a security risk in a feature of GNU Emacs related to interacting with Python. The vulnerability arises because Python, by default, prepends the current directory to the module search path, allowing for arbitrary code execution when launched from a specially crafted directory (CVE-2008-3949). Impact : Remote attackers could entice a user to open a specially crafted file in GNU Emacs, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary Emacs Lisp code or arbitrary Python code with the privileges of the user running GNU Emacs or XEmacs. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 35732 published 2009-02-24 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2009-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/35732 title GLSA-200902-06 : GNU Emacs, XEmacs: Multiple vulnerabilities code #%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80502 # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200902-06. # # The advisory text is Copyright (C) 2001-2015 Gentoo Foundation, Inc. # and licensed under the Creative Commons - Attribution / Share Alike # license.
