+## Insufficient blacklisting in teximg plugin
+
+Josh Triplett discovered on 28 Aug 2009 that the teximg plugin's
+blacklisting of insecure TeX commands was insufficient; it could be
+bypassed and used to read arbitrary files. This was fixed by
+enabling TeX configuration options that disallow unsafe TeX commands.
+The fix was released on 30 Aug 2009 in version 3.1415926, and was
+backported to stable in version 2.53.4. If you use the teximg plugin,
+I recommend upgrading. ([[!cve CVE-2009-2944]])
