-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] emacs (SSA:2022-342-01) New emacs packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to fix a security issue. Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/emacs-27.2-i586-2_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt. 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: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2022-45939 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Where to find the new packages: +-----------------------------+ Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab (https://osuosl.org) for donating FTP and rsync hosting to the Slackware project! :-) Also see the "Get Slack" section on https://slackware.com for additional mirror sites near you.
