Description David Lawrence 2005-03-30 23:26:40 UTC

The semi package includes a MIME library for GNU Emacs and XEmacs used by
the wl mail package.

Tatsuya Kinoshita discovered a vulnerability in flim, an emacs library
for working with Internet messages included in the semi package. Temporary
files were being created without taking adequate precautions, and therefore
a local user could potentially overwrite files with the privileges of the
user running emacs.

It would appear that under AS2.1, flim and semi are part of the same package,
denoted semi, whereas on RH7.3 semi and flim are two separate RPMs. This
vulnerability is fixed for 7.3 in:
flim-1.14.4-4.7x.legacy
