Two buffer overflow vulnerabilities were discovered in GNU enscript,
which could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands via a
specially crafted ASCII file, if the file were opened with the -e or
--escapes option enabled (CVE-2008-3863, CVE-2008-4306).
The updated packages have been patched to prevent these issues.
