Synopsis: Low: hplip3 security and bug fix update
Issue Date: 2013-01-08
CVE Numbers: CVE-2011-2722
--

It was found that the HP CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) fax filter
in HPLIP
created a temporary file in an insecure way. A local attacker could use this
flaw to perform a symbolic link attack, overwriting arbitrary files
accessible
to a process using the fax filter (such as the hp3-sendfax tool).
(CVE-2011-2722)

This update also fixes the following bug:

* Previous modifications of the hplip3 package to allow it to be installed
alongside the original hplip package introduced several problems to fax
support; for example, the hp-sendfax utility could become unresponsive.
These
problems have been fixed with this update.
