<p>
|
|
Kees Cook from the Ubuntu Security team discovered that the hpssd
|
|
daemon does not correctly validate user supplied data before passing it
|
|
to a "popen3()" call.

<impact type="high">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A local attacker may be able to exploit this vulnerability by sending a
|
|
specially crafted request to the hpssd daemon to execute arbitrary
|
|
commands with the privileges of the user running hpssd, usually root.
|
|
</p>
|

</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.

All HPLIP users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "net-print/hplip"</code>
