CVE-2024-12425

    Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory
    ('Path Traversal') vulnerability allows Absolute Path Traversal.
    An attacker can write to arbitrary locations, albeit suffixed
    with ".ttf", by supplying a file in a format that supports
    embedded font files

CVE-2024-12426

    Exposure of Environmental Variables and arbitrary INI file values
    to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability.
    URLs could be constructed which expanded environmental variables

    be exfiltrated to a remote server on opening a document
    containing such links.

For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
1:7.0.4-4+deb11u12.
