app-text/pstotext has a serious remote vulnerability that allows to
execute arbitrary commands on a vulnerable system. It appears to be
unmaintained at the moment.
If anyone out there is able to take this on and patch it (honestly,
patch is small), that would be much appreciated, the bug number is
100245. Otherwise, it's our intent to security mask the package in the
next 24 hours.
Thanks in advance,
Stefan
