Fedora 10 FEDORA-2009-8997 Critical: XEmacs Buffer Overflow Fix

XEmacs is a highly customizable open source text editor and

application development system. It is protected under the GNU General

Public License and related to other versions of Emacs, in particular

GNU Emacs. Its emphasis is on modern graphical user interface support

and an open software development model, similar to Linux.

This package contains XEmacs built for X Windows with MULE support.

This update fixes multiple buffer overflows when reading large image files, or

maliciously created image files whose headers misrepresent the actual image

size.
