Published: 14.11.2007
Source: BUGTRAQ
SecurityVulns ID: 8343
Type: local
Level: 5/10
Description: It's possible to bypass enable-local-variables safe mode.

Affected: EMACS : emacs 22.1
CVE: CVE-2007-5795 (The hack-local-variables function in Emacs before 22.2, when enable-local-variables is set to :safe, does not properly search lists of unsafe or risky variables, which might allow user-assisted attackers to bypass intended restrictions and modify critical program variables via a file containing a Local variables declaration.)
