This isn't a problem with "troff" or any of it's varients. Instead, this is an exploit purely with "groff", the GNU reimplementation. Troff doesn't have the file stream or ".pso" requests; those are purely part of groff. Thus, this affects only systems with groff installed (all Linux and FreeBSD systems, at least). John
