Emacs 29.4 released

Date:
Mon, 24 Jun 2024 14:07:39 +0000

Description:
Version
29.4 of the Emacs editor has been released.  This is " an emergency
bugfix release " fixing a vulnerability that can cause
the editor to execute arbitrary Org-mode code.  Anybody who runs Emacs on
untrusted files  including those using Gnus or one of the Emacs mail modes
 should be looking to update.  For those who cannot update, a pair of
messages from Russ
Allbery and Florian Weimer investigates how to disable the Org-mode 
evaluation, a task that is
seemingly more complicated than it should be.
