The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory GLSA 200501-02.

All a2ps users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=app-text/a2ps-4.13c-r2' http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=GLSA%20200501-02 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75784 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61500 http://secunia.com/advisories/13641/ http://lists.netsys.com/pipermail/full-disclosure/2004-August/025678.html

The fixps and psmandup scripts in the a2ps package are vulnerable to symlink attacks, potentially allowing a local user to overwrite arbitrary files. A vulnerability in a2ps filename handling could also result in arbitrary command execution.
