    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-2562-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Thijs Kinkhorst October 23, 2012 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : cups-pk-helper
    Vulnerability : privilege escalation
    Problem type : local
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2012-4510

    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.
