    Kevin Backhouse discovered that HPLIP incorrectly handled certain MDNS responses. A remote attacker could
    use this issue to cause HPLIP to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary
    code.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
