                     Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
     _______________________________________________________________________

     Package name: enscript
     Advisory ID: MDKSA-2005:033
     Date: February 10th, 2005

     Affected versions: 10.0, 10.1, Corporate 3.0,
                             Corporate Server 2.1
     ______________________________________________________________________

     Problem Description:

     A vulnerability in the enscript program's handling of the epsf command
     used to insert inline EPS file into a document was found. An attacker
     could create a carefully crafted ASCII file which would make used of
     the epsf pipe command in such a way that it could execute arbitrary
     commands if the file was opened with enscript (CAN-2004-1184).
     
     Additionally, flaws were found in enscript that could be abused by
     executing enscript with carefully crafted command-line arguments.
     These flaws only have a security impact if enscript is executed by
     other programs and passed untrusted data from remote users
     (CAN-2004-1185 and CAN-2004-1186).
     
     The updated packages have been patched to prevent these problems.
