  spools the generated output to a specified printer or saves it to a file.
  Enscript can be extended to handle different output media and includes
  options for customizing printouts.

  Two buffer overflow flaws were found in GNU enscript. An attacker could
  craft an ASCII file in such a way that it could execute arbitrary commands
  if the file was opened with enscript with the "special escapes" option (-e
  or --escapes) enabled. (CVE-2008-3863, CVE-2008-4306)
  
  All users of enscript should upgrade to these updated packages, which
  contain backported patches to correct these issues.";
