"The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are
affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7375-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Org Mode did not correctly handle filenames containing shell metacharacters. An
    attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This issue
    only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2023-28617)

    It was discovered that Org Mode could run untrusted code left in its buffer. An attacker could possibly
    use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu
    22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-30202)

    It was discovered that Org Mode did not correctly handle the contents of remote files. An attacker could
    possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected
    Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-30205)

    It was discovered that Org Mode could be made to run arbitrary Elisp code. An attacker could possibly use
    this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-39331)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
