Updated hplip packages that fix various security issues are now available
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.
The hplip (Hewlett-Packard Linux Imaging and Printing) packages provide
drivers for Hewlett-Packard printers and multifunction peripherals.
A flaw was discovered in the hplip alert-mailing functionality. A local
attacker could elevate their privileges by using specially-crafted packets
to trigger alert mails, which are sent by the root account. (CVE-2008-2940)
A flaw was discovered in the hpssd message parser. By sending
specially-crafted packets, a local attacker could cause a denial of
service, stopping the hpssd process. (CVE-2008-2941)
Users of hplip should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
backported patches to correct these issues.
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
