The bug reporter is concerned about having the current working directory in gs' search path. Firefox for example stores ps files you get via some web site in /tmp and then calls the associated ps viewer. The ps viewer will then execute /tmp/Encoding/* which could have been prepared by a different user... Fortunately any sane ps viewer/converter disables use of dangerous commands (gs -dSAFER) so the files in the Encoding directory can't do anything worse than the file that should be displayed. So while have the current directory in the search path can be used to annoy other users security isn't a strong argument here AFAICT. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
