+ <blockquote cite="http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2012/08/13/1">
+ <p>Paul Ling has found a security flaw in the file-local
+ variables code in GNU Emacs.</p>
+ <p>When the Emacs user option `enable-local-variables' is
+ set to `:safe' (the default value is t), Emacs should
+ automatically refuse to evaluate `eval' forms in file-local
+ variable sections. Due to the bug, Emacs instead
+ automatically evaluates such `eval' forms. Thus, if the user
+ changes the value of `enable-local-variables' to `:safe',
+ visiting a malicious file can cause automatic execution of
+ arbitrary Emacs Lisp code with the permissions of the
+ user.</p>
+ <p>The bug is present in Emacs 23.2, 23.3, 23.4, and
+ 24.1.</p>
