Description
Ulf Härnhammar discovered multiple stack overflows in enscript’s
handling of special escape arguments. If a user or automated system
were tricked into processing a malicious file with the ‘-e’ option
enabled, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code or cause
enscript to crash, possibly leading to a denial of service.
