Package name enscript
Date December 15th, 2008
Advisory ID MDVSA-2008:243
Affected versions CS3.0, 2008.0, 2008.1, 2009.0

Problem Description

Two buffer overflow vulnerabilities were discovered in GNU enscript,
which could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands via a
specially crafted ASCII file, if the file were opened with the -e or
--escapes option enabled (CVE-2008-3863, CVE-2008-4306).

The updated packages have been patched to prevent these issues.
