Detail
| cups-pk-helper, a PolicyKit helper to configure cups with fine-grained privileges, wraps CUPS function calls in an insecure way. This could lead to uploading sensitive data to a cups resource, or overwriting specific files with the content of a cups resource. The user would have to explicitly approve the action. For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 0.1.0-3. For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem will be fixed soon. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 0.2.3-1. We recommend that you upgrade your cups-pk-helper packages. |
