Versions    : rh73: a2ps-4.13b-19.2.legacy

Versions    : fc1: a2ps-4.13b-30.2.legacy
Summary     : Converts text and other types of files to PostScript(TM).
Description :
The a2ps filter converts text and other types of files to PostScript
format. A2ps has pretty-printing capabilities and includes support for a
wide number of programming languages, encodings (ISO Latins, Cyrillic,
etc.), and media.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

An updated a2ps package that fixes a security bug is now available.

The a2ps filter converts text and other types of files to PostScript
format.

A problem was discovered in the way a2ps handles filenames that include
shell metacharacters. An attacker could use this flaw to execute
arbitrary commands by providing a filename that includes metacharacters
as an argument. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-1170 to this issue.

All users of a2ps should upgrade to this updated package, which includes
a patch to correct this issue.
