HP Linux Imaging and Printing System Privilege Escalation And Denial Of Service Vulnerabilities

HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (HPLIP) is prone to multiple vulnerabilities, including privilege-escalation and denial-of-service issues.

Exploiting the privilege-escalation vulnerability may allow attackers to perform certain actions with elevated privileges. Successful exploits of the denial-of-service issue will cause the 'hpssd' process to crash, denying service to legitimate users.

These issues affect HPLIP 1.6.7; other versions may also be affected.
