Summary
=======

Romain Francoise has found a security risk in a feature of GNU Emacs
related to how Emacs interacts with Python.


Description
===========

The vulnerability may allow an attacker to run malicious code if the
user runs the Emacs command `run-python' while the current directory is
world-writable, or if the user toggles `eldoc-mode' and visits a Python
source file in a world-writable directory.


Affected packages:

Pardus 2008:
emacs, all before 23.0.60_20080624-22-6
Pardus 2007:
emacs, all before 22.1-17-17


Resolution
==========

There are update(s) for emacs. You can update them via Package Manager
or with a single command from console:

Pardus 2008:
pisi up emacs

Pardus 2007:
pisi up emacs
