The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:1408 advisory.

GNU Emacs is a powerful, customizable, self-documenting text editor. It provides special code editing     features, a scripting language (elisp), and the capability to read e-mail and news.

Security Fix(es):

* emacs: command execution via shell metacharacters (CVE-2022-48337)

* emacs: command injection vulnerability in htmlfontify.el (CVE-2022-48339)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and     other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the applicationโ€™s self-reported version number.
