Title:RHSA-2017:2771: emacs security update (Important)
Description:GNU Emacs is a powerful, customizable, self-documenting text editor. It provides special code editing features, a scripting language (elisp), and the capability to read e-mail and news.

Security Fix(es):

  • A command injection flaw within the Emacs "enriched mode" handling has been discovered. By tricking an unsuspecting user into opening a specially crafted file using Emacs, a remote attacker could exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the Emacs user. (CVE-2017-14482)
