CVE-2005-0100 1 Gnu 2 Emacs, Xemacs 2024-11-20 7.5 HIGH N/A
Format string vulnerability in the movemail utility in (1) Emacs 20.x, 21.3, and possibly other versions, and (2) XEmacs 21.4 and earlier, allows remote malicious POP3 servers to execute arbitrary code via crafted packets.
CVE-2003-1232 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2024-11-20 5.1 MEDIUM N/A
Emacs 21.2.1 does not prompt or warn the user before executing Lisp code in the local variables section of a text file, which allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary commands, as demonstrated using the mode-name variable.
CVE-2001-1301 2 Gnu, Xemacs 2 Emacs, Xemacs 2024-11-20 1.2 LOW N/A
rcs2log, as used in Emacs 20.4, xemacs 21.1.10 and other versions before 21.4, and possibly other packages, allows local users to modify files of other users via a symlink attack on a temporary file.
CVE-2000-0271 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2024-11-20 4.6 MEDIUM N/A
read-passwd and other Lisp functions in Emacs 20 do not properly clear the history of recently typed keys, which allows an attacker to read unencrypted passwords.
CVE-2000-0270 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2024-11-20 3.6 LOW N/A
The make-temp-name Lisp function in Emacs 20 creates temporary files with predictable names, which allows attackers to conduct a symlink attack.
CVE-2000-0269 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2024-11-20 2.1 LOW N/A
Emacs 20 does not properly set permissions for a slave PTY device when starting a new subprocess, which allows local users to read or modify communications between Emacs and the subprocess.
CVE-2023-2491 2 Gnu, Redhat 5 Emacs, Enterprise Linux, Enterprise Linux Eus and 2 more 2024-02-04 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-2022-48337 2 Debian, Gnu 2 Debian Linux, Emacs 2024-02-04 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 2024-02-04 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-2022-45939 3 Debian, Fedoraproject, Gnu 3 Debian Linux, Fedora, Emacs 2024-02-04 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-2022-48339 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2024-02-04 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-2022-48338 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2024-02-04 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 2024-02-04 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-2017-1000383 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2024-02-04 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-2017-14482 2 Debian, Gnu 2 Debian Linux, Emacs 2024-02-04 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-2014-9483 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2024-02-04 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
Emacs 24.4 allows remote attackers to bypass security restrictions.
CVE-2014-3424 2 Gnu, Mageia Project 2 Emacs, Mageia 2024-02-04 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-2014-3423 2 Gnu, Mageia Project 2 Emacs, Mageia 2024-02-04 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-2014-3422 2 Gnu, Mageia Project 2 Emacs, Mageia 2024-02-04 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-2014-3421 2 Gnu, Mageia Project 2 Emacs, Mageia 2024-02-04 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.
