Rudolf Polzer reports :

a2ps builds a command line for file() containing an unescaped version of the file name, thus might call external programs described by the file name. Running a cronjob over a public writable directory a2ps-ing all files in it - or simply typing ‘a2ps *.txt’ in /tmp - is therefore dangerous.
