EulerOS 2.0 SP10 : emacs (EulerOS-SA-2025-1771)

high Nessus Plugin ID 241804

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the emacs package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 In elisp-mode.el in GNU Emacs before 30.1, a user who chooses to invoke elisp-completion-at-point (for code completion) on untrusted Emacs Lisp source code can trigger unsafe Lisp macro expansion that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code. (This unsafe expansion also occurs if a user chooses to enable on- the-fly diagnosis that byte compiles untrusted Emacs Lisp source code.)(CVE-2024-53920)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS emacs security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected emacs packages.
