Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Emacs version 20
Description
The issue is related to the
read-passwd and other Lisp functions in Emacs, which do not properly clear the history of recently typed keys. This allows an attacker to read unencrypted passwords.Recommendations
For Emacs version 20, consider disabling the
read-passwd function until a patch is available to properly clear the key history and prevent unauthorized access to unencrypted passwords.Correção
