security flaw

pstopnm in netpbm does not properly use the "-dSAFER" option when calling Ghostscript to convert a PostScript file into a 1 PBM, 2 PGM, or 3 PNM file, which allows external user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary commands...

USN-164-1: netpbm vulnerability

Max Vozeler discovered that the the "pstopnm" conversion tool did not use the -dSAFER option when calling ghostscript. This option prohibits file operations and calling commands within PostScript code. This flaw could be exploited by an attacker to execute arbitrary code if he tricked an user or ...

CVE-2005-2471

CVE-2005-2471 concerns netpbm's pstopnm utility, which does not properly use -dSAFER when invoking Ghostscript to convert PostScript to PBM/PGM/PNM. This can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands via specially crafted PostScript files. Public disclosures reference a fix in several distr...
