MGASA-2012-0310

Date: October 29th, 2012
Affected releases: 2


Description:
Updated cups-pk-helper package fixes security vulnerability:

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 (CVE-2012-4510).


Updated Packages:
cups-pk-helper-0.2.1-1.1.mga2
