私は約18年前に友人から.emacsファイルを継承しました。中央に埋もれているのは、このenable-local-variables
機能のセキュリティへの影響に関する次の不吉なコメント警告です。

;; Subject: Self-extracting emacs elisp code
;;
;; With all this talk about self extracting mail "viruses", a friend
;; showed me that in emacs (which I use to read mail, along with vm)
;; has the ability to self-extract elisp code. This feature seems to
;; be turned on by default, and it not only applies to mail read with
;; emacs, but rather every file visited (when the feature is on, of
;; course).
;;
;; The way it works is by having a line which reads "Local Variables:"
;; followed by the lisp variables you would like to set...well, it may
;; seem petty, but you can execute programs, make connections and much
;; more through cleverly written elisp code contained within.
;;
;; It's simple to turn off, at any rate...
;;
;; (setq enable-local-variables f) ;; turns off feature (in emacs 19)
;; (setq enable-local-variables 1) ;; makes it ask first (in emacs 19)
;; (setq inhibit-local-variables t) ;; turns off feature (in emacs 18)
;;
;; Anyhow, I think the risks here speak for themselves...
;;
(setq enable-local-variables '())
そのため、このlocal-variables
機能を実際に使用したことはありませんが、かなり便利だと思われます。enable-local-variables
任意のコードインジェクション攻撃にさらされることなく、何か有用なことをする方法はありますか?
