PostScript
(R)
Passwords
The PostScript language has some powerful utilities that could be used to compromise the security of a
system. These utilities can be password protected so as to prevent abuse. This feature is concerned
with the ability to set the various passwords. In addition, we have extended the PostScript language
with custom operators; the same passwords could be used to secure the custom extensions.
Without a password in place, anyone with slight knowledge of Postscript can potentially abuse the
system. They can use the
Startjob
and
Exitserver
operators, change the system parameters, and run
jobs that can re-define PostScript operators and so on.
There are three passwords defined in the PostScript Password page, as follows:
•
Start Job Password
- A write-only string. Authorizes the use of startjob and exitserver
•
Run Start Job
- An integer. Controls the execution of the Sys/Start file, which runs as an
unencapsulated job and loads definitions into VM. This parameter should only ever be set to zero
or one in normal use.
•
System Parameters Password -
A write-only string. Controls use of the setsystemparams and
setdevparams operators
