Re: Emacs arbitrary code execution: incomplete fix for CVE-2024-53920
A security researcher raised whether GitHub should assign a CVE identifier for an incomplete fix to CVE-2024-53920 affecting Emacs arbitrary code execution. The discussion centers on whether GitHub's CNA scope covers this vulnerability or if Red Hat should provide the assignment instead.
Why it matters: Emacs users need clarity on whether a new CVE identifier will be issued for the incomplete fix so they can properly track and remediate the vulnerability.

Re: Emacs arbitrary code execution: incomplete fix for CVE-2024-53920
A security researcher raised the question of whether GitHub would assign a new CVE for an incomplete fix to CVE-2024-53920 in Emacs, which allows arbitrary code execution. The researcher suggested that if GitHub does not assign the CVE, Red Hat could provide one instead.
Why it matters: Emacs users and maintainers need to track whether this incomplete fix introduces a new tracked vulnerability (CVE) that requires separate patching attention.
