A new Emacs vulnerability update is available for Ubuntu Linux. Here the announcement:
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-504-1 August 28, 2007
emacs21 vulnerability
CVE-2007-2833
==========================
==========================
=========
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 6.10
Ubuntu 7.04
This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
emacs21 21.4a-3ubuntu2.1
emacs21-nox 21.4a-3ubuntu2.1
Ubuntu 6.10:
emacs21 21.4a-6ubuntu2.1
emacs21-nox 21.4a-6ubuntu2.1
Ubuntu 7.04:
emacs21 21.4a+1-2ubuntu1.1
emacs21-nox 21.4a+1-2ubuntu1.1
After a standard system upgrade you need to restart emacs to effect the
necessary changes.
Details follow:
Hendrik Tews discovered that emacs21 did not correctly handle certain
GIF images. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted GIF,
a remote attacker could cause emacs21 to crash, resulting in a denial
of service.
