For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 1.9-1sarge2. The build for the mipsel architecture is not yet available due to technical problems with the build host. For the upcoming stable distribution (etch) this problem has been fixed in version 1.9-4. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 1.9-4. We recommend that you upgrade your pstotext package. Upgrade Instructions - --------------------wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.

Background ========= pstotext is a program that works with GhostScript to extract plain text from PostScript and PDF files. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 app-text/pstotext < 1.8g-r1 > = 1.8g-r1 Description ========== Max Vozeler reported that pstotext calls the GhostScript interpreter on untrusted PostScript files without specifying the -dSAFER option.
