Ghostscript is an important part of most Linux systems out there. If you remove Ghostscript, you remove the ability to print in most cases. The advice to avoid opening unknown PS files is good. I wonder whether a similar flaw exists in Ghostscript's handling of PDF files. If such an attack is possible with a PDF, the flaw is potentially much more serious. -- Hawaiian Astronomical Society: http://www.hawastsoc.org HAS Deepsky Atlas: http://www.hawastsoc.org/deepsky _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
