Emacs 25.3 is an emergency release to fix a security vulnerability
that is exploitable remotely in Emacs-based mail clients (such as
Gnus).

Please update to Emacs 25.3 as soon as possible:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu-emacs/2017-09/msg00000.html

To work around the bug in Emacs versions before 25.3, put the
following code in your personal or site-wide Emacs init file
(~/.emacs, ~/emacs.d/init.el, site-start.el):

  (eval-after-load "enriched"
    '(defun enriched-decode-display-prop (start end &optional param)
       (list start end)))

Bye, Reiner.
