Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for emacs.

CVE-2022-45939[0]:
| GNU Emacs through 28.2 allows attackers to execute commands via shell
| metacharacters in the name of a source-code file, because lib-
| src/etags.c uses the system C library function in its implementation
| of the ctags program. For example, a victim may use the "ctags *"
| command (suggested in the ctags documentation) in a situation where
| the current working directory has contents that depend on untrusted
| input.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
