3. Description:
The hplip packages contain the Hewlett-Packard Linux Imaging and Printing
Project (HPLIP), which provides drivers for Hewlett-Packard printers and
multi-function peripherals.
Several temporary file handling flaws were found in HPLIP. A local attacker
could use these flaws to perform a symbolic link attack, overwriting
arbitrary files accessible to a process using HPLIP. (CVE-2013-0200,
CVE-2011-2722)
The CVE-2013-0200 issues were discovered by Tim Waugh of Red Hat.
The hplip packages have been upgraded to upstream version 3.12.4, which
provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version.
(BZ#731900)
This update also fixes the following bugs:
* Previously, the hpijs package required the obsolete cupsddk-drivers
package, which was provided by the cups package. Under certain
circumstances, this dependency caused hpijs installation to fail. This
bug has been fixed and hpijs no longer requires cupsddk-drivers.
(BZ#829453)
* The configuration of the Scanner Access Now Easy (SANE) back end is
located in the /etc/sane.d/dll.d/ directory, however, the hp-check
utility checked only the /etc/sane.d/dll.conf file. Consequently,
hp-check checked for correct installation, but incorrectly reported a
problem with the way the SANE back end was installed. With this update,
hp-check properly checks for installation problems in both locations as
expected. (BZ#683007)
All users of hplip are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix these issues and add these enhancements.
