pstotext (1.9-4) unstable; urgency=medium
* [main.c] Applied patch courtesy of Martin Ehmsen <ehmsen@gentoo.org> to unbreak pstotext on input from stdin which was broken by 1.9-3's security patch. (Closes: #356988)

pstotext (1.9-3) unstable; urgency=high
* [main.c] Security fix. popen(3) was being used in a construct which could
did not perform sufficient cleanup/quoting of filenames; these filenames
could come from untrusted sources like a web indexing service and could
thus be misused to execute shell code as the user running pstotext. The
use of popen(3) has been replaced by an explicit fork/pipe construct
which does not involve the use of a shell. (Closes: #356988)
* [debian/control] Change the non-virtual package suggestion for the
dependency on the "gs" virtual package to gs-gpl as gs-aladdin has become
a transitional package.
* [debian/control] Updated Standards-Version.

2005
pstotext (1.9-2) unstable; urgency=high
* [main.c] Security fix: call Ghostscript with -dSAFER to prevent malicious
PostScript data from altering the filesystem or opening pipes to arbitrary
external programs. This problem was remotely exploitable (through
pstotext's registration with /etc/mailcap as a viewer application).
The problem was identified and patched by Max Vozeler <xam@debian.org>.
