SuSE 11.2 / 11.3 Security Update : hplip (SAT Patch Numbers 8775 / 8777)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 72277

Synopsis

The remote SuSE 11 host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

hplip was updated to fix three security issues :

- Some local file overwrite problems via predictable /tmp filenames were fixed. (CVE-2013-0200)

- hplip used an insecure polkit DBUS API (polkit-process subject race condition) which could lead to local privilege escalation. (CVE-2013-4325)

- hplip uses arbitrary file creation/overwrite (via hard-coded file name /tmp/hp-pkservice.log).
(CVE-2013-6402)

Solution

Apply SAT patch number 8775 / 8777 as appropriate.
