Description
There's a security issue in emacs23:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-3479
lisp/files.el in Emacs 23.2, 23.3, 23.4, and 24.1 automatically executes eval forms in local-variable sections when the enable-local-variables option is set to :safe, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary Emacs Lisp code via a crafted file.
The patch here applies cleanly to the source:

Thanks. For the benefit of the archives, this isn't an issue for emacs/emacs-app because it's fixed in 24.2, and it didn't exist in emacs22.
