Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.56000
Category:Fedora Local Security Checks
Title:Fedora Legacy Security Advisory FLSA-2005:152892
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory FLSA-2005:152892.

Enscript has the ability to interpret special escape sequences. A flaw
was found in the handling of the epsf command used to insert inline EPS
files into a document. An attacker could create a carefully crafted
ASCII file which made use of the epsf pipe command in such a way that it
could execute arbitrary commands if the file was opened with enscript by
a victim. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-1184 to this issue.

Additional flaws in Enscript were also discovered which can only be
triggered by executing enscript with carefully crafted command line
arguments. These flaws therefore only have a security impact if enscript
is executed by other programs and passed untrusted data from remote
users. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the names CVE-2004-1185 and CVE-2004-1186 to these issues.

All users of enscript should upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve these issues.

Affected platforms:
Redhat 7.3
Redhat 9
Fedora Core 1
