I am trying to install AFPL Ghostscript 7.03 and get the mods to
gs_init.ps set properly. The changes recommended by IFHP's
README.GhostScriptSecurityProblem
don't work for 7.03 -- the gs_init.ps file is completely different in the
"SAFER" section. I have come up with the following that seems to work
properly, but I'm not a postscript programmer. Would someone look at this
and tell me if this is wrong? And if so, how to fix it?
Patrick--
If this is the correct code you can put this in your README file.
% this section modified to fix a security problem
/file
{ //SAFETY /safe get {
dup (r) eq
2 index (%pipe*) .stringmatch not and
3 index (%std*) .stringmatch not and
or or
{ file }
{ /invalidfileaccess //signalerror exec }
ifelse
} {
file
} ifelse
} .bind executeonly odef
Thanks much!
