Fedora Core 3: 2005-016 Critical: Enscript Command Execution Risk

GNU enscript is a free replacement for Adobe's Enscript

program. Enscript converts ASCII files to PostScript(TM) and spools

generated PostScript output to the specified printer or saves it to a

file. Enscript can be extended to handle different output media and

includes many options for customizing printouts.

Erik Sj=F6lund has discovered several security relevant problems in

enscript, a program to converts ASCII text to Postscript and other

formats. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies

the following vulnerabilities:

CAN-2004-1184

Unsanitised input can caues the execution of arbitrary commands

via EPSF pipe support. This has been disabled, also upstream.

CAN-2004-1185

Due to missing sanitising of filenames it is possible that a

specially crafted filename can cause arbitrary commands to be

executed.

CAN-2004-1186

Multiple buffer overflows can cause the program to crash.

- Fixed patch for CAN-2004-1186 (bug #114684).

* Tue Jan 11 2005 Tim Waugh 1.6.1-28.0.1

- Added patch to fix CAN-2004-1186 (bug #114684).

- Added patch to fix CAN-2004-1185 (bug #114684).

- Backported patch to fix CAN-2004-1184 (bug #114684).
