"The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2008-271:01 advisory.
Description of problem:
The hplip (Hewlett-Packard Linux Imaging and Printing) packages provide drivers for Hewlett-Packard
printers and multifunction peripherals.
A flaw was discovered in the hplip alert-mailing functionality. A local attacker could elevate their
privileges by using specially-crafted packets to trigger alert mails, which are sent by the root account.
(CVE-2008-2940).
A flaw was discovered in the hpssd message parser. By sending specially-crafted packets, a local attacker
could cause a denial of service, stopping the hpssd process. (CVE-2008-2941).
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
