Description

From the tldist mailing list: 

For all distro and other maintainers of TeX: mpost should be removed
from the list of shell_escape_commands in TeX Live's texmf.cnf, or
analogous lists in other setups. (Perhaps we will be able to reinstate
it in the 2017 TL release.)

(details of an exploit can be found on the web)
