CVE-2008-1694 1 Gnu 2 Emacs, Sccs 2018-10-03 4.6 MEDIUM 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-2007-6109 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2018-10-03 10.0 HIGH 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-2017-1000383 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2017-11-27 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
GNU Emacs version 25.3.1 (and other versions most likely) ignores umask when creating a backup save file ("[ORIGINAL_FILENAME]~") resulting in files that may be world readable or otherwise accessible in ways not intended by the user running the emacs binary.
CVE-2014-9483 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2017-09-08 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
Emacs 24.4 allows remote attackers to bypass security restrictions.
CVE-2010-0825 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2017-08-17 4.4 MEDIUM N/A
lib-src/movemail.c in movemail in emacs 22 and 23 allows local users to read, modify, or delete arbitrary mailbox files via a symlink attack, related to improper file-permission checks.
CVE-2007-5795 2 Debian, Gnu 2 Debian Linux, Emacs 2017-07-29 6.3 MEDIUM N/A
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.
CVE-2014-3424 2 Gnu, Mageia Project 2 Emacs, Mageia 2016-06-30 3.3 LOW N/A
lisp/net/tramp-sh.el in GNU Emacs 24.3 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/tramp.##### temporary file.
CVE-2014-3423 2 Gnu, Mageia Project 2 Emacs, Mageia 2016-06-30 3.3 LOW N/A
lisp/net/browse-url.el in GNU Emacs 24.3 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/Mosaic.##### temporary file.
CVE-2014-3422 2 Gnu, Mageia Project 2 Emacs, Mageia 2016-06-30 3.3 LOW N/A
lisp/emacs-lisp/find-gc.el in GNU Emacs 24.3 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file under /tmp/esrc/.
CVE-2014-3421 2 Gnu, Mageia Project 2 Emacs, Mageia 2016-06-30 3.3 LOW N/A
lisp/gnus/gnus-fun.el in GNU Emacs 24.3 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/gnus.face.ppm temporary file.
CVE-2012-3479 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2013-12-13 6.8 MEDIUM N/A
lisp/files.el in Emacs 23.2, 23.3, 23.4, and 24.1 automatically executes eval forms in local-variable sections when the enable-local-variables option is set to :safe, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary Emacs Lisp code via a crafted file.
CVE-2012-1103 2 Gnu, Notmuchmail 2 Emacs, Notmuch 2012-09-26 4.3 MEDIUM N/A
emacs/notmuch-mua.el in Notmuch before 0.11.1, when using the Emacs interface, allows user-assisted remote attackers to read arbitrary files via crafted MML tags, which are not properly quoted in an email reply cna cause the files to be attached to the message.
CVE-2003-1232 1 Gnu 1 Emacs 2011-03-08 5.1 MEDIUM 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-2007-2833 3 Debian, Gnu, Mandrakesoft 4 Debian Linux, Emacs, Mandrake Linux and 1 more 2008-09-05 7.8 HIGH N/A
Emacs 21 allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via certain crafted images, as demonstrated via a GIF image in vm mode, related to image size calculation.

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.
