Debian LTS DLA-3849-1: Securing Emacs Against Org-Mode Vulnerabilities
Summary
The org-link-expand-abbrev function expanded a %(...) link abbrev even
when the abbrev specified an unsafe function, such as
shell-command-to-string.
This could lead to arbitrary code execution as soon as an Org-mode
format file was opened, including one embedded in an e-mail message.
For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version
1:26.1+1-3.2+deb10u6.
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:
