An emacs (SSA:2022-342-01) has been released for Slackware Linux 15.0
slackware-security: emacs (SSA:2022-342-01)
[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:

(* Security fix *)
