>Description:
all xemacs-21.1 versions before 21.1.14 contain a remote vulnerability
in gnuserv. the current netbsd pkg is version 21.1.12 & therefore
vulnerable as well if i have understood correctly.
>How-To-Repeat:
see http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-announce/200102/msg00000.html
>Fix:
upgrade xemacs package to 21.1.14. should be pretty easy as releases
in the stable (21.1) branch are bugfix only.
