CVE-2007-5795

Publication date 2 November 2007

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

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.
