I can produce this with -vanilla, (require 'vc-hooks) and
(setq debug-on-error t). If I leave the last part off,
then I get to see that the submenu is replaced by the entry
"No Menu" and I get the *Warnings*:
(1) (error/warning) Error in menubar filter: (void-function vc-locking-user)
And sure enough, this function does not appear to be defined anywhere,
although it is called from vc-menu-filter in vc-hooks.el
AHA! SVN does not use locking. So change line 968 of vc-hooks.el to
((or (eq type 'CVS) (eq type 'SVN))
and then it works for me!

Gentoo security alert 200902-06 (emacs)

Is there an established procedure for dealing with bugs like the
following? Is there an established for noticing & tracking security
issues?
I am unaware of any process for doing either. I happened to stumble
upon this one simply because it was visible without having to scroll
my browser window.)
Absent any instruction, I will file a high priority bug. (Is it
possible mark bugs as security-related in Tracker?)

Severity: Normal
Title: GNU Emacs, XEmacs: Multiple vulnerabilities
Date: February 23, 2009
Bugs: #221197, #236498
ID: 200902-06
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Synopsis
========
Two vulnerabilities were found in GNU Emacs, possibly leading to
user-assisted execution of arbitrary code. One also affects edit-utils
in XEmacs.
Background
==========
GNU Emacs and XEmacs are highly extensible and customizable text
editors. edit-utils are miscellaneous extensions to XEmacs.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 app-editors/emacs < 22.2-r3 >= 22.2-r3
*>= 21.4-r17
< 19
2 app-xemacs/edit-utils < 2.39 >= 2.39
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2 affected packages on all of their supported architectures.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Description
===========
Morten Welinder reports about GNU Emacs and edit-utils in XEmacs: By
shipping a .flc accompanying a source file (.c for example) and setting
font-lock-support-mode to fast-lock-mode in the source file through
local variables, any Lisp code in the .flc file is executed without
warning (CVE-2008-2142).
Romain Francoise reported a security risk in a feature of GNU Emacs
related to interacting with Python. The vulnerability arises because
Python, by default, prepends the current directory to the module search
path, allowing for arbitrary code execution when launched from a
specially crafted directory (CVE-2008-3949).
Impact
======
Remote attackers could entice a user to open a specially crafted file
in GNU Emacs, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary Emacs Lisp
code or arbitrary Python code with the privileges of the user running
GNU Emacs or XEmacs.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All GNU Emacs users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-editors/emacs-22.2-r3"
All edit-utils users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-xemacs/edit-utils-2.39"
References
==========

Not sure about the last bit. But RCS requires locking does it not?
If so, then it must be broken since there is no function vc-locking-user.

auctex versions
15 years, 5 months
Ville Skyttä
Ville Skyttä
Hello,
I see the latest sumo (and its tag in CVS) contains auctex 11.84 while CVS
HEAD has 11.55. Apparently 11.84 was at some point in HEAD, but reverted back
to 11.55 by Stephen in July with the comment "Sync auctex trunk back to
release 1.48." but no further info.
Which one is the version that should be distributed with the sumos and
packages collection at the moment? Uwe was surprised to hear that 11.84 is
in sumos, and the fact that CVS HEAD is at 11.55 and 11.84 is in a branch is
going to cause some surprises if 11.84 is the version that should be
distributed currently. If it's 11.84, I suggest moving that to CVS HEAD. If
11.55, perhaps we need new sumos soon.
Uwe, Mats, Norbert, Stephen, comments?
