"Several vulnerabilities have been found in a2ps, an 'Anything to
PostScript' converter and pretty-printer. The Common Vulnerabilities
and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2001-1593
    The spy_user function which is called when a2ps is
    invoked with the --debug flag insecurely used temporary
    files.

  - CVE-2014-0466
    Brian M. Carlson reported that a2ps's fixps script does
    not invoke gs with the -dSAFER option. Consequently
    executing fixps on a malicious PostScript file could
    result in files being deleted or arbitrary commands
    being executed with the privileges of the user running
    fixps."
