[PATCH] Fix ob-latex.el command injection vulnerability.

[lux]

Test environment:
- Emacs 29.0.60
- Orgmode 9.6.1
- TeX Live 2020

Preconditions:

(org-babel-do-load-languages
 'org-babel-load-languages
 '((latex . t)))

The vulnerability occurs in the file ob-latex.el, in the `org-babel-
execute:latex' function, if then file's extension is .svg, using
`shell-command' function to call the `mv' shell command:

  ((string= "svg" extension)
   ...
   (let ((tmp-pdf (org-babel-latex-tex-to-pdf tex-file)))
     (let* (...
            (img-out (org-compile-file
                      tmp-pdf
                      (list org-babel-latex-pdf-svg-process)
                      extension err-msg log-buf)))
       (shell-command (format "mv %s %s" img-out out-file)))))

But the parameter `img-out' and parameter `out-file' are not escape.
So, if file name or directory name contains shell characters and will
be executed.

Example for the vul_test.org file:

  #+name: vul_test
  #+header: :file test;uname -a;.svg
  #+begin_src latex
  \LaTeX
  #+end_src

Using Emacs open it, and press 'C-c C-e l p' export to a pdf file, or
point to begin_src block and press 'C-c C-c' to execute block.

In the '*Message*' buffer, you can see the 'uname -a' command output:

  Executing Latex code block (vul_test)...
  Processing LaTeX file /tmp/babel-UCtwdU/latex-zWDsHS.tex...
  PDF file produced.

This patch fixed it.
