=====================================================================

 

1. 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 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.
