Summary

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.
