The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2013:1274 advisory.

  - hplip: Insecure calling of polkit (CVE-2013-4325)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

This update brings in the latest upstream release and fixes a security issue with the way polkit is used for authentication.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in the HP Linux Printing and Imaging System: Insecure temporary files, insufficient permission checks in PackageKit and the insecure hp-upgrade service has been disabled.

The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the AXSA:2013-628:02 advisory.

    The Hewlett-Packard Linux Imaging and Printing Project provides drivers for HP printers and multi-function     peripherals.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
     CVE-2013-4325     No description available at the time of writing, please refer to the CVE link below.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

It was discovered that HPLIP was using polkit in an unsafe manner. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass intended polkit authorizations.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

hplip was updated to fix three security issues :

  - Some local file overwrite problems via predictable /tmp     filenames were fixed. (CVE-2013-0200)

  - hplip used an insecure polkit DBUS API (polkit-process     subject race condition) which could lead to local     privilege escalation. (CVE-2013-4325)

  - hplip uses arbitrary file creation/overwrite (via     hard-coded file name /tmp/hp-pkservice.log).
    (CVE-2013-6402)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201406-27 (polkit, Spice-Gtk, systemd, HPLIP, libvirt: Privilege escalation)

    polkit has a race condition which potentially allows a process to change       its UID/EUID via suid or pkexec before authentication is completed.
  Impact :

    A local attacker could start a suid or pkexec process through a       polkit-enabled application, which could result in privilege escalation or       bypass of polkit restrictions.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

HPLIP communicated with PolicyKit for authorization via a D-Bus API that is vulnerable to a race condition. This could lead to intended PolicyKit authorizations being bypassed. This update modifies HPLIP to communicate with PolicyKit via a different API that is not vulnerable to the race condition. (CVE-2013-4325)

Updated polkit packages fix security vulnerability :

A race condition was found in the way the PolicyKit pkcheck utility checked process authorization when the process was specified by its process ID via the --process option. A local user could use this flaw to bypass intended PolicyKit authorizations and escalate their privileges (CVE-2013-4288).

Note: Applications that invoke pkcheck with the --process option need to be modified to use the pid,pid-start-time,uid argument for that option, to allow pkcheck to check process authorization correctly.

Because of the change in the PolicyKit API, hplip (CVE-2013-4325), rtkit (CVE-2013-4326), and systemd (CVE-2013-4327) packages have been updated to use a different API that is not affected by this PolicyKit vulnerability.

the following security issue was fixed for HPLIP 3.13.10: usage of an insecure polkit DBUS API (fix for bnc#836937 and CVE-2013-4325 that are related to CVE-2013-4288 and bnc#835827).
