 -------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Package : org-mode Version : 9.1.14+dfsg-3+deb10u2 CVE ID : CVE-2024-30203 CVE-2024-30204 CVE-2024-30205 Debian Bug : 1067663

 Multiple problems were discovered in Org-mode, a GNU Emacs major mode for keeping notes, authoring documents, and maintaining to-do lists.

 CVE-2024-30203 & CVE-2024-30204

 In Emacs before 29.3, LaTeX preview is enabled by default for e-mail attachments in some Emacs MUAs. This can lead to denial of service.

 (A request has been submitted to MITRE to merge these CVE numbers.)

 CVE-2024-30205

 In Emacs before 29.3, Org mode considers the contents of remote files to be trusted. This affects Org Mode before 9.6.23.

 For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 9.1.14+dfsg-3+deb10u2.

 We recommend that you upgrade your org-mode packages.

 For the detailed security status of org-mode please refer to its security tracker page at:
