I cannot provide a more obvious way to attack gs... so for now I must
accept your decision.

the same as was
for -P-, and that was accepted as a "grave" bug. (If anything, a lack
of -dSAFER is easier to exploit, with just the one PS file.)
If -dSAFER is ever a good idea, then now is a good a time to change.

in effect assuring me that this will make it into squeeze.

which may be closer to this issue.
I would expect DSA-1989 to have been adopted and fixed by Ubuntu,
where the original poster says he found the issue.

To
wonder
what other browsers do. If they do not have a reasonable default then
users might pick gs, not knowing they need "gs -dSAFER".
I wonder whether there are browsers or similar that do "cd /tmp" before
running gs, so using bug#584653 with a webpage named .../gs_init.ps
and known, equally.
But OK: your package, your decision. In the meantime, I can use my
wrapper (attached, in the hope that others may find it useful).
