Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 9 vulnerabilities.
1) OS Command Injection
EUVDB-ID: #VU69808
Risk: High
CVSSv4.0: 5.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45939
CWE-ID:
CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing name of a source-code file in lib-src/etags.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to use the "ctags *" command and execute arbitrary OS commands on the target system in a situation where the current working directory has contents that depend on untrusted input.
Update the affected package emacs to the latest version.
