CVE-2007-6109 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2025-04-09 N/A
Stack-based buffer overflow in emacs allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly have unspecified other impact via a large precision value in an integer format string specifier to the format function, as demonstrated via a certain "emacs -batch -eval" command line.
CVE-2008-1694 1 Gnu 2 Emacs, Sccs 2025-04-09 N/A
vcdiff in Emacs 20.7 to 22.1.50, when used with SCCS, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.
CVE-2008-2142 1 Gnu 2 Emacs, Xemacs 2025-04-09 N/A
Emacs 21 and XEmacs automatically load and execute .flc (fast lock) files that are associated with other files that are edited within Emacs, which allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code.
CVE-2000-0269 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2025-04-03 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-2000-0270 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2025-04-03 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-2005-0100 2 Gnu, Redhat 3 Emacs, Xemacs, Enterprise Linux 2025-04-03 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 2025-04-03 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 2025-04-03 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 2025-04-03 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-2022-48339 2 Gnu, Redhat 3 Emacs, Enterprise Linux, Rhel Eus 2025-03-18 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 2 Gnu, Redhat 2 Emacs, Enterprise Linux 2025-03-18 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-2022-48337 3 Debian, Gnu, Redhat 4 Debian Linux, Emacs, Enterprise Linux and 1 more 2025-03-18 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 2025-03-05 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-2023-27985 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2025-03-05 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-2023-2491 2 Gnu, Redhat 5 Emacs, Enterprise Linux, Enterprise Linux Eus and 2 more 2025-01-22 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.
