<p>Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in GNU Emacs:</p>

|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>When ‘global-ede-mode’ is enabled, EDE in Emacs automatically
|

loads a Project.ede file from the project directory (CVE-2012-0035).
|
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>When ‘enable-local-variables’’ is set to ‘:safe’, Emacs
|
|
|
|
|
|
automatically processes eval forms (CVE-2012-3479).
