Descriptions

In Emacs before 29.3, LaTeX preview is enabled by default for e-mail attachments.

En Emacs anterior a 29.3, la vista previa de LaTeX está habilitada de forma predeterminada para los archivos adjuntos de correo electrónico.

A flaw was found in Emacs. When Emacs is used as an email client, a preview of a crafted LaTeX document attached to an email can exhaust the disk space or the inodes allocated for the partition where the /tmp directory is located. This issue possibly results in a denial of service.
