[gnu.emacs] GNU Emacs security hole?

tn@leadsv.UUCP (Tristan Nefzger) (02/22/90)

Some time ago a review of Clifford Stoll's book appeared in EE Times
(11/6/89).  Mentioned was a bug in Gnu Emacs which "allows a file to
be moved into the protected systems space."  Do you know of any
security holes in Gnu Emacs and what versions they are in?

Thanks.
