Description:
Max Vozeler has reported a vulnerability in pstotext, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to pstotext not using the "-dSAFER" option when calling GhostScript to extract plain-text from PostScript files. This potentially allows malicious postscript code to execute arbitrary commands on the system.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.9. Other versions may also be affected.
