Package        : less     Version        : 487-0.1+deb10u1     CVE ID         : CVE-2022-48624 CVE-2024-32487     Debian Bug     : 1064293 1068938

Security vulnerabilities were found in less, a pager program similar to     more, which could result in arbitrary command execution when processing     files with crafted names.

CVE-2022-48624

    It was discovered that LESSCLOSE handling in less did not quote         shell metacharacters.

CVE-2024-32487

    It was discovered that filenames containing a newline character         could result in arbitrary command execution during input         preprocessor invocation.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     487-0.1+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your less packages.
