Package: emacs,org-mode
Version: 24.3.90
Severity: important
Tags: security

org-babel-screen-session-write-temp-file and org-babel-screen-test seem
to use predictable temp-file names, which is a security issue. Using
`make-temp-file', or if the file names really need to be predictable,
something equivalent to `doc-view-make-safe-dir' (there should really be
a general utility function for this IMO) to first create a /tmp
subdirectory would avoid this.

If you mean

http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=fea672d30ef4701721c0d4aa70462760a6b21be7

then's there still org-babel-screen-test.

(These are definitely fixes that need merging into the emacs-24 branch.
IIUC this means they need to be in your maint branch?)
