GNU Enscript 'src/psgen.c' Stack Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

GNU Enscript 'src/psgen.c' Stack Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

GNU Enscript is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input.

Attackers may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. Failed attacks will cause denial-of-service conditions.

GNU Enscript 1.6.1 and 1.6.4 (beta) are vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
