Description:
Updated emacs packages fix security vulnerabilities:
Untrusted search path vulnerability in EDE in CEDET before 1.0.1, as used
in GNU Emacs before 23.4 and other products, allows local users to gain
privileges via a crafted Lisp expression in a Project.ede file in the
directory, or a parent directory, of an opened file (CVE-2012-0035).
lisp/files.el in Emacs 23.2, 23.3, 23.4, and 24.1 automatically executes
eval forms in local-variable sections when the enable-local-variables
option is set to :safe, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to
execute arbitrary Emacs Lisp code via a crafted file (CVE-2012-3479).
