Synopsis ========
enscript suffers from vulnerabilities and design flaws, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
Background ==========
enscript is a powerful ASCII to PostScript file converter.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 app-text/enscript < 1.6.3-r3 >= 1.6.3-r3
Description ===========
Erik Sjolund discovered several issues in enscript: it suffers from several buffer overflows (CAN-2004-1186), quotes and shell escape characters are insufficiently sanitized in filenames (CAN-2004-1185), and it supported taking input from an arbitrary command pipe, with unwanted side effects (CAN-2004-1184).
Impact ======
An attacker could design malicious files or input data which, once feeded into enscript, would trigger the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running enscript.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
All enscript users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/enscript-1.6.3-r3"
