Emacs is a powerful, customizable, self-documenting, modeless text editor.
Max Vozeler discovered several format string vulnerabilities in the
movemail utility of Emacs. If a user connects to a malicious POP server,
an attacker can execute arbitrary code as the user running emacs. The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned
the name CAN-2005-0100 to this issue.
Users of Emacs are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain backported patches to correct this issue.
