Ubuntu 8.04 LTS / 9.10 / 10.04 LTS / 10.10 : hplip vulnerability (USN-1051-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 51673

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

Sebastian Krahmer discovered that HPLIP incorrectly handled certain long SNMP responses. A remote attacker could send malicious SNMP replies to certain HPLIP tools and cause them to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
