Freshness: upstream tracker timestamp is available; use API updated time as primary recency signal.
CVE-2024-32487 not yet assigned priority: Debian including 1 source packages (less), 5 status rows across 5 suites (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie): resolved 5.
less through 653 allows OS command execution via a newline character in the name of a file, because quoting is mishandled in filename.c. Exploitation typically requires use with attacker-controlled file names, such as the files extracted from an untrusted archive. Exploitation also requires the LESSOPEN environment variable, but this is set by default in many common cases.
