Amazon Linux 2023 Security Advisory: ALAS-2025-849
Advisory Release Date: 2025-02-12 22:57 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2025-02-21 13:45 Pacific
Severity:
Important
Issue Overview:
In elisp-mode.el in GNU Emacs through 30.0.92, 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)
