security advisorylow severityhplip updateScientific Linux: Minor Severity HPLIP Security Update Released Now
Low: hplip security, bug fix and enhancement update. Date: Mon, 4 Mar 2013 13:09:48 -0600 Reply-To: Pat Riehecky Sender: Security Errata for Scientific Linux From: Pat Riehecky Organization: Fermilab Subject: Security ERRATA Low: hplip on SL6.x i386/x86_64 MIME-Version: 1.0 Synopsis: Low: hplip security, bug fix and enhancement update Issue Date: 2013-02-21 CVE Numbers: CVE-2011-2722 CVE-2013-0200 -- 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 hplip packages have been upgraded to upstream version 3.12.4, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. 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. * 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. -- SL6 x86_64 hpijs-3.12.4-4.el6.x86_64.rpm hplip-3.12.4-4.el6.x86_64.rpm hplip-common-3.12.4-4.el6.x86_64.rpm hplip-debuginfo-3.12.4-4.el6.i686.rpm hplip-debuginfo-3.12.4-4.el6.x86_64.rpm hplip-gui-3.12.4-4.el6.x86_64.rpm hplip-libs-3.12.4-4.el6.i686.rpm hplip-libs-3.12.4-4.el6.x86_64.rpm libsane-hpaio-3.12.4-4.el6.x86_64.rpm i386 hpijs-3.12.4-4.el6.i686.rpm hplip-3.12.4-4.el6.i686.rpm hplip-common-3.12.4-4.el6.i686.rpm hplip-debuginfo-3.12.4-4.el6.i686.rpm hplip-gui-3.12.4-4.el6.i686.rpm hplip-libs-3.12.4-4.el6.i686.rpm libsane-hpaio-3.12.4-4.el6.i686.rpm - Scientific Linux Development Team .

Summary: Updated hplip packages that fix several security issues, multiple bugs, and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having low security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6) - i386, ppc64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 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 thefollowing bugs: * Previously, the hpijs package required the obsolete cupsddk-driverspackage, 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. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via the Red Hat Network.
