  Several 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, CVE-2008-5078)
