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.
