This fixes a security issue, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information. The security issue is caused due to the lack of sanitation when parsing the "include" SSI directive. This can be exploited to disclose the content of an arbitrary local file when a malicious HTML file is converted. Successful exploitation requires access to the generated PostScript file. SOLUTION: Apply updated packages via the yum utility ("yum update html2ps").
