Synopsis: New emacs packages available
Advisory ID: RHSA-2000:036-01
Issue date: 2000-06-15
Updated on: 2000-06-15
Product: Red Hat Linux
Keywords: emacs vulnerability

---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Topic:
With emacs < 20.7, unprivileged local users can eavesdrop the communication between Emacs and its subprocesses.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 6.0 - i386 alpha sparc
Red Hat Linux 6.1 - i386 alpha sparc
Red Hat Linux 6.2 - i386 alpha sparc
3. Problem description:
With emacs < 20.7, unprivileged local users can eavesdrop the communication between Emacs and its subprocesses.
This release also fix many minor problems.
The problem also exists for Red Hat 5.x. Unfortunately, the fixes require UNIX98 PTYs. This is only available on Red Hat 6.x and higher. If this problem concerns you, an upgrade is recommended.
4. Solution:
For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filename]
where filename is the name of the RPM.
5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info):
11335 - emacs-nox built with X11 locale
10948 - emacs-nox does not accept pasted data
10798 - Emacs shell-script mode doesn't know about bash2
