<description>
<p>
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).
</p>
</description>
<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 &quot;&gt;=app-text/enscript-1.6.3-r3&quot;</code>
</resolution>
