Check for the version of the enscript package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory FEDORA-2005-015 (enscript). 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: CVE-2004-1184 Unsanitised input can caues the execution of arbitrary commands via EPSF pipe support. This has been disabled, also upstream. CVE-2004-1185 Due to missing sanitising of filenames it is possible that a specially crafted filename can cause arbitrary commands to be executed. CVE-2004-1186 Multiple buffer overflows can cause the program to crash.
