Debian Bug : 1129189
Two security issues were discovered in GNU Emacs, which could result in
the execution of arbitrary code when opening a malformed file and
denial of service when processing malformed PBM/PPM/PGM images.
For the stable distribution (trixie), this problem has been fixed in
version 1:30.1+1-6+deb13u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your emacs packages.
