Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

According to the versions of the emacs packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - lisp/gnus/gnus-fun.el in GNU Emacs 24.3 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/gnus.face.ppm temporary file. (CVE-2014-3421)

 - lisp/emacs-lisp/find-gc.el in GNU Emacs 24.3 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file under /tmp/esrc/. (CVE-2014-3422)

 - lisp/net/tramp-sh.el in GNU Emacs 24.3 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/tramp.##### temporary file. (CVE-2014-3424)
