+    from PostScript and PDF files.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Max Vozeler reported that pstotext calls the GhostScript interpreter on
+    untrusted PostScript files without specifying the -dSAFER option.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    An attacker could craft a malicious PostScript file and entice a user
+    to run pstotext on it, resulting in the execution of arbitrary commands
+    with the permissions of the user running pstotext.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All pstotext users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-text/pstotext-1.8g-r1&quot;</code>
