Qt-based clients may mismatch HSTS headers (Strict-Transport-Security), which would prevent the client from switching to a secure HTTPS connection as requested by a server.

This update patches a security issue: LuaTeX before 1.17.0 allows execution of arbitrary shell commands when compiling a TeX file obtained from an untrusted source. This occurs because luatex-core.lua lets the original io.popen be accessed. This also affects TeX Live before 2023 r66984 and MiKTeX before 23.5. Thanks to Johannes Schoepfer.
