CVE-2023-2491 2 Gnu, Redhat 5 Emacs, Enterprise Linux, Enterprise Linux Eus and 2 more 2023-12-10 N/A 7.8 HIGH
A flaw was found in the Emacs text editor. Processing a specially crafted org-mode code with the "org-babel-execute:latex" function in ob-latex.el can result in arbitrary command execution. This CVE exists because of a CVE-2023-28617 security regression for the emacs package in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.2.
CVE-2022-45939 3 Debian, Fedoraproject, Gnu 3 Debian Linux, Fedora, Emacs 2023-12-10 N/A 7.8 HIGH
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.
CVE-2022-48338 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2023-12-10 N/A 7.3 HIGH
An issue was discovered in GNU Emacs through 28.2. In ruby-mode.el, the ruby-find-library-file function has a local command injection vulnerability. The ruby-find-library-file function is an interactive function, and bound to C-c C-f. Inside the function, the external command gem is called through shell-command-to-string, but the feature-name parameters are not escaped. Thus, malicious Ruby source files may cause commands to be executed.
CVE-2023-27985 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2023-12-10 N/A 7.8 HIGH
emacsclient-mail.desktop in Emacs 28.1 through 28.2 is vulnerable to shell command injections through a crafted mailto: URI. This is related to lack of compliance with the Desktop Entry Specification. It is fixed in 29.0.90
CVE-2022-48339 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2023-12-10 N/A 7.8 HIGH
An issue was discovered in GNU Emacs through 28.2. htmlfontify.el has a command injection vulnerability. In the hfy-istext-command function, the parameter file and parameter srcdir come from external input, and parameters are not escaped. If a file name or directory name contains shell metacharacters, code may be executed.
CVE-2022-48337 2 Debian, Gnu 2 Debian Linux, Emacs 2023-12-10 N/A 9.8 CRITICAL
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 etags program. For example, a victim may use the "etags -u *" command (suggested in the etags documentation) in a situation where the current working directory has contents that depend on untrusted input.
CVE-2023-27986 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2023-12-10 N/A 7.8 HIGH
emacsclient-mail.desktop in Emacs 28.1 through 28.2 is vulnerable to Emacs Lisp code injections through a crafted mailto: URI with unescaped double-quote characters. It is fixed in 29.0.90.
CVE-2014-9483 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2023-12-10 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
Emacs 24.4 allows remote attackers to bypass security restrictions.
CVE-2017-14482 2 Debian, Gnu 2 Debian Linux, Emacs 2023-12-10 6.8 MEDIUM 8.8 HIGH
GNU Emacs before 25.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via email with crafted "Content-Type: text/enriched" data containing an x-display XML element that specifies execution of shell commands, related to an unsafe text/enriched extension in lisp/textmodes/enriched.el, and unsafe Gnus support for enriched and richtext inline MIME objects in lisp/gnus/mm-view.el. In particular, an Emacs user can be instantly compromised by reading a crafted email message (or Usenet news article).
CVE-2017-1000383 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2023-12-10 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
GNU Emacs version 25.3.1 (and other versions most likely) ignores umask when creating a backup save file ("[ORIGINAL_FILENAME]~") resulting in files that may be world readable or otherwise accessible in ways not intended by the user running the emacs binary.
CVE-2014-3423 2 Gnu, Mageia Project 2 Emacs, Mageia 2023-12-10 3.3 LOW N/A
lisp/net/browse-url.el in GNU Emacs 24.3 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/Mosaic.##### temporary file.
CVE-2014-3421 2 Gnu, Mageia Project 2 Emacs, Mageia 2023-12-10 3.3 LOW N/A
lisp/gnus/gnus-fun.el in GNU Emacs 24.3 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/gnus.face.ppm temporary file.
CVE-2014-3424 2 Gnu, Mageia Project 2 Emacs, Mageia 2023-12-10 3.3 LOW N/A
lisp/net/tramp-sh.el in GNU Emacs 24.3 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/tramp.##### temporary file.
CVE-2014-3422 2 Gnu, Mageia Project 2 Emacs, Mageia 2023-12-10 3.3 LOW N/A
lisp/emacs-lisp/find-gc.el in GNU Emacs 24.3 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file under /tmp/esrc/.
CVE-2012-1103 2 Gnu, Notmuchmail 2 Emacs, Notmuch 2023-12-10 4.3 MEDIUM N/A
emacs/notmuch-mua.el in Notmuch before 0.11.1, when using the Emacs interface, allows user-assisted remote attackers to read arbitrary files via crafted MML tags, which are not properly quoted in an email reply cna cause the files to be attached to the message.
CVE-2012-3479 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2023-12-10 6.8 MEDIUM N/A
lisp/files.el in Emacs 23.2, 23.3, 23.4, and 24.1 automatically executes eval forms in local-variable sections when the enable-local-variables option is set to :safe, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary Emacs Lisp code via a crafted file.
CVE-2012-0035 2 Eric M Ludlam, Gnu 2 Cedet, Emacs 2023-12-10 9.3 HIGH N/A
Untrusted search path vulnerability in EDE in CEDET before 1.0.1, as used in GNU Emacs before 23.4 and other products, allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted Lisp expression in a Project.ede file in the directory, or a parent directory, of an opened file.
CVE-2010-0825 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2023-12-10 4.4 MEDIUM N/A
lib-src/movemail.c in movemail in emacs 22 and 23 allows local users to read, modify, or delete arbitrary mailbox files via a symlink attack, related to improper file-permission checks.
CVE-2008-1694 1 Gnu 2 Emacs, Sccs 2023-12-10 4.6 MEDIUM N/A
vcdiff in Emacs 20.7 to 22.1.50, when used with SCCS, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.
CVE-2008-2142 1 Gnu 2 Emacs, Xemacs 2023-12-10 6.8 MEDIUM N/A
Emacs 21 and XEmacs automatically load and execute .flc (fast lock) files that are associated with other files that are edited within Emacs, which allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code.
