Thanks for the bug report. However, I don't think python-codespeak-lib
is vulnerable:
* It uses -dSAFER to execute ghostscript
* Filenames are always passed with absolute filenames
* Files don't include other files
(This only affects the stable version too, which is very very old now
and nobody is using it.)
Thanks again. Please let me know if I'm missing anything.
Regards,
