NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream hplip package and not the hplip package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The send_data_to_stdout function in prnt/hpijs/hpcupsfax.cpp in HP Linux Imaging and Printing (HPLIP) 3.x before 3.11.10 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/hpcupsfax.out temporary file.
