hplip vulnerability
https://launchpad.net/bugs/191299
===========================================================
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 7.10
This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:
Ubuntu 7.10:
hplip 2.7.7.dfsg.1-0ubuntu5.3
In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
Details follow:
It was discovered that an installation script in the HPLIP package would
change permissions on the hplip config files located in user's home directories.
A local user could exploit this and change permissions on arbitrary files
upon an HPLIP installation or upgrade, which could lead to root privileges.
Updated packages for Ubuntu 7.10:
