Would you please fix this through stable-proposed-updates?  Thanks.

| Hiroshi Oota has found a security flaw in EDE (part of CEDET), a
| development tool included in Emacs.  EDE can store various information
| about a project, such as how to build the project, in a file named
| Project.ede in the project directory tree.  When the minor mode
| `global-ede-mode' is enabled, visiting a file causes Emacs to look for
| Project.ede in the file's directory or one of its parent directories.
| If Project.ede is present, Emacs automatically reads and evaluates the
| first Lisp expression in it.
| 
| This design exposes EDE users to the danger of loading malicious code
| from one file (Project.ede), simply by visiting another file in the same
| directory tree.
