+  <title>a2ps: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    The fixps and psmandup scripts in the a2ps package are vulnerable to
+    symlink attacks, potentially allowing a local user to overwrite arbitrary
+    files. A vulnerability in a2ps filename handling could also result in
+    arbitrary command execution.

+    <p>
+    a2ps is an Any to Postscript filter that can convert to Postscript from
+    many filetypes. fixps is a script that fixes errors in Postscript
+    files. psmandup produces a Postscript file for printing in manual
+    duplex mode.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pena discovered that the a2ps package
+    contains two scripts that create insecure temporary files (fixps and
+    psmandup). Furthermore, we fixed in a previous revision a vulnerability
+    in a2ps filename handling (CAN-2004-1170).
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary files
+    directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. When
+    fixps or psmandup is executed, this would result in the file being
+    overwritten with the rights of the user running the utility. By
+    enticing a user or script to run a2ps on a malicious filename, an
+    attacker could execute arbitrary commands on the system with the rights
+    of that user or script.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All a2ps users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-text/a2ps-4.13c-r2"</code>
