GNU Emacs 23.2 and 23.3 were released absent grammar files from which
the parsers used in its CEDET component were generated. These grammar
files should have been included, as they constitute part of the real
source code. New versions of the tarballs that include these files have
been uploaded to the GNU FTP server at

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/emacs-23.2a.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/emacs-23.2a.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/emacs-23.3a.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/emacs-23.3a.tar.gz

All redistributors are urged to upgrade to these revised releases.
Their md5sums are:

981cd3764b71115835801b3f4ef081c1 emacs-23.2a.tar.gz
3bb6d13489610c9c105625a89d689485 emacs-23.2a.tar.bz2
20aef9ea5b5bf8050d39f8b1e96a1c04 emacs-23.3a.tar.gz
f2cf8dc6f28f8ae59bc695b4ddda339c emacs-23.3a.tar.bz2

Note also that the FSF has granted permission to distribute the old
Emacs 23.1 and 23.2 releases, notwithstanding the absence therein of the
grammar files. This permission extends to versions with unrelated
modifications, provided those versions comply with GNU GPL version 3 in
all other respects. See Richard Stallman's message at

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2011-08/msg00035.html

Thank you, and sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Correction: the FSF has granted permission to distribute the old Emacs
23.2 and 23.3 releases, notwithstanding the absence therein of the real
source.

Thank you for your rigor and swift fixing!

It’s good to know that even our most prominent project can be hit by this -
and can recover!

Best wishes,
Arne
