critical Nessus Plugin ID 209789

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

According to the versions of the emacs package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

In Emacs before 29.4, org-link-expand-abbrev in lisp/ol.el expands a %(...) link abbrev even when it specifies an unsafe function, such as shell-command-to-string. This affects Org Mode before 9.7.5.(CVE-2024-39331)

In Emacs before 29.3, Gnus treats inline MIME contents as trusted.(CVE-2024-30203)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS Virtualization emacs security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected emacs packages.
