DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in CEDET, which can be exploited by
malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to the EDE part of CEDET
automatically loading "Project.ede" files when visiting other files
in the same directory tree, which can be exploited to execute
arbitrary LISP code by tricking a user into opening a file in a
directory containing a malicious EDE project.
The vulnerability is reported in version 1.0. Other versions may also
be affected.
SOLUTION:
Do not visit files in untrusted directories.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
The vendor credits Hiroshi Oota.
