+ <p>
+ The Hewlett-Packard Linux Imaging and Printing system (HPLIP) provides
+ drivers for HP's inkjet and laser printers, scanners and fax machines.
+ It integrates with the Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) and Scanner
+ Access Now Easy (SANE).

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Kees Cook from the Ubuntu Security team discovered that the hpssd
+ daemon does not correctly validate user supplied data before passing it
+ to a "popen3()" call.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker may be able to exploit this vulnerability by sending a
+ specially crafted request to the hpssd daemon to execute arbitrary
+ commands with the privileges of the user running hpssd, usually root.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All HPLIP users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "net-print/hplip"</code>
