Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu USN-1265-1 (python-cupshelpers)
Summary:	Ubuntu USN-1265-1 (python-cupshelpers)
Description:	The remote host is missing an update to python-cupshelpers announced via advisory USN-1265-1. Details: Marc Deslauriers discovered that system-config-printer's cupshelpers scripts used by the Ubuntu automatic printer driver download service queried the OpenPrinting database using an insecure connection. If a remote attacker were able to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be exploited to install altered packages and repositories. Solution: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 11.10: python-cupshelpers 1.3.6+20110831-0ubuntu9.4 Ubuntu 11.04: python-cupshelpers 1.3.1+20110222-0ubuntu16.5 http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-1265-1
