upgrade.py in the hp-upgrade service in HP Linux Imaging and Printing
(HPLIP) 3.x through 3.13.11 launches a program from an http URL, which
allows man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary code by gaining
control over the client-server data stream.

Notes

Author Note
mdeslaur Precise and earlier don’t have the upgrade.py file. In Quantal, Raring, Saucy and Trusty, upgrade.py actually bails out because the specific ubuntu version isn’t marked as “supported” in distros.dat, so even if this script is run as root, it doesn’t do anything, thankfully.
