Subject: org-link-expand-abbrev: Do not evaluate arbitrary unsafe Elisp code
X-Git-Tag: archive/raspbian/1%29.4+1-4+rpi1~1^2~2^2~17^2~8
X-Git-Url: https://dgit.raspbian.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c645e1d8205f0f0663ec4a2d27575b238c646c7c;p=emacs.git

org-link-expand-abbrev: Do not evaluate arbitrary unsafe Elisp code

* lisp/org/ol.el (org-link-expand-abbrev): Refuse expanding %(...)
link abbrevs that specify unsafe function.  Instead, display a
warning, and do not expand the abbrev.  Clear all the text properties
from the returned link, to avoid any potential vulnerabilities caused
by properties that may contain arbitrary Elisp.
