NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xemacs21 package and not the xemacs21 package as distributed by Debian.

Stack-based buffer overflow in emacs allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly have unspecified other impact via a large precision value in an integer format string specifier to the format function, as demonstrated via a certain "emacs -batch -eval" command line.
