Summary

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.)

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
