Package: hplip Severity: grave Tags: security upstream Hi,
the following vulnerability was published for hplip. CVE-2013-6427[0]: insecure auto update feature SuSE decided to patch the update.py script to exit imediately, see [1] for details. I have only verified that the hplip-data source package in unstable indeed contains /usr/share/hplip/upgrade.py but not if there is actually a chance to be run (as root) at one stage (thus the severity might be argued). If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry. For further information see: [0] http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-6427 http://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2013-6427 [1] https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=853405 [2] http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2013/12/05/2 Please adjust the affected versions in the BTS as needed (only unstable verified for the source).
