+	<blockquote cite="http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2012/08/13/1">
+	  <p>Paul Ling has found a security flaw in the file-local
+	  variables code in GNU Emacs.</p>
+	  <p>When the Emacs user option `enable-local-variables' is
+	  set to `:safe' (the default value is t), Emacs should
+	  automatically refuse to evaluate `eval' forms in file-local
+	  variable sections. Due to the bug, Emacs instead
+	  automatically evaluates such `eval' forms. Thus, if the user
+	  changes the value of `enable-local-variables' to `:safe',
+	  visiting a malicious file can cause automatic execution of
+	  arbitrary Emacs Lisp code with the permissions of the
+	  user.</p>
+	  <p>The bug is present in Emacs 23.2, 23.3, 23.4, and
+	  24.1.</p>
