DSA-670-1 emacs20 Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Max Vozeler discovered several format string vulnerabilities in the movemail utility of Emacs, the well-known editor. Via connecting to a malicious POP server a possible hacker can execute arbitrary code under the rights of group mail. For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 20.7-13.3. The unstable distribution (sid) does not contain an Emacs20 package anymore. We recommend that you upgrade your emacs packages.
