Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.59035
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2007:201 (hplip)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to hplip
announced via advisory MDKSA-2007:201.

A vulnerability in the hpssd tool was discovered where it did not
correctly handle shell meta-characters. A local attacker could use
this flaw to execute arbitrary commands as the hplip user.

As well, this update fixes a problem with some HP scanners on Mandriva
Linux 2007.1, particularly HP PSC 1315, which wouldn't be detected
and also fixes a problem with HP 1220 and possibly other models when
scanning via the OpenOffice.org suite.

Updated packages have been patched to prevent these issues.

Affected: 2007.0, 2007.1, 2008.0, Corporate 4.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
