Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2013:0500 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Low: hplip security, bug fix and enhancement update 2013-02-20 21:18:15 UTC

Description Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2013-01-21 04:05:16 UTC 
Temporary file handling flaws were found in several places in hplip. Because a predicatable temporary filenames are used, an attacker could use a symlink attack to overwrite an arbitrary file with the privileges of the process running hplip.

This is a different flaw than CVE-2011-2722.
