Oracle Linux: CVE-2022-48338: ELSA-2023-2626: emacs security update (IMPORTANT) (Multiple Advisories)
Description
An issue was discovered in GNU Emacs through 28.2. In ruby-mode.el, the ruby-find-library-file function has a local command injection vulnerability. The ruby-find-library-file function is an interactive function, and bound to C-c C-f. Inside the function, the external command gem is called through shell-command-to-string, but the feature-name parameters are not escaped. Thus, malicious Ruby source files may cause commands to be executed. A flaw was found in the Emacs package. A malicious ruby source file may cause a local command injection.
