+ enscript suffers from vulnerabilities and design flaws, potentially
+ resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.

+ <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 "&gt;=app-text/enscript-1.6.3-r3"</code>
