Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-02-12 07:32:27 UTC 
A shell injection vulnerability exists in GNU Emacs due to improper handling of custom "man" URI schemes. Initially considered low severity, as it required user interaction with local files, it was later discovered that an attacker could exploit this vulnerability by tricking a user into visiting a specially crafted website or an HTTP URL with a redirect, leading to arbitrary shell command execution without further user action.This issue affects all released versions of GNU Emacs, including version 29.4.

This vulnerability was fixed in Emacs 30.1.

Do you plan to upgrade the version available in Fedora 40 and 41 to 30.1 ?
Or to backport the fix ?
