hplip vulnerability
https://launchpad.net/bugs/191299
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 7.10:
hplip 2.7.7.dfsg.1-0ubuntu5.3

A local user could exploit this and change permissions on arbitrary files
upon an HPLIP installation or upgrade, which could lead to root privileges.

Updated packages for Ubuntu 7.10:
