--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2005-016 2005-01-26 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 3 Name : enscript Version : 1.6.1 Release : 28.0.2 Summary : A plain ASCII to PostScript converter. Description : GNU enscript is a free replacement for Adobe's Enscript program. Enscript converts ASCII files to PostScript(TM) and spools generated PostScript output to the specified printer or saves it to a file. Enscript can be extended to handle different output media and includes many options for customizing printouts. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Erik Sjölund has discovered several security relevant problems in enscript, a program to converts ASCII text to Postscript and other formats. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following vulnerabilities: CAN-2004-1184 Unsanitised input can caues the execution of arbitrary commands via EPSF pipe support. This has been disabled, also upstream. CAN-2004-1185 Due to missing sanitising of filenames it is possible that a specially crafted filename can cause arbitrary commands to be executed. CAN-2004-1186 Multiple buffer overflows can cause the program to crash. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Mon Jan 24 2005 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com> 1.6.1-28.0.2 - Fixed patch for CAN-2004-1186 (bug #114684). * Tue Jan 11 2005 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com> 1.6.1-28.0.1 - Added patch to fix CAN-2004-1186 (bug #114684). - Added patch to fix CAN-2004-1185 (bug #114684). - Backported patch to fix CAN-2004-1184 (bug #114684). --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/u... 64cf1cd8caf430620476ff974c243829 SRPMS/enscript-1.6.1-28.0.2.src.rpm 233b8d840cfcc8d17286421e4ce0e868 x86_64/enscript-1.6.1-28.0.2.x86_64.rpm 11834dbe6435a1944da492a91f6a0bb1 x86_64/debug/enscript-debuginfo-1.6.1-28.0.2.x86_64.rpm 97e0027f6d54ca9575e816ba47ee5e0e i386/enscript-1.6.1-28.0.2.i386.rpm ad12163e561ab7e16637fb75690633d4 i386/debug/enscript-debuginfo-1.6.1-28.0.2.i386.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- fedora-announce-list mailing list fedora-announce-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-announce-list (Log in to post comments)
