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 type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All enscript users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/enscript-1.6.3-r3"</code>
|
|
