CVE-2015-0839 HPLIP vulnerability
Title: HPLIP vulnerability
Summary: HPLIP could be tricked into downloading a different GPG key when
performing printer plugin installations.
Enrico Zini discovered that HPLIP used a short GPG key ID when downloading
keys from the keyserver. An attacker could possibly use this to return a
different key with a duplicate short key id and perform a machine-in-the-middle
attack on printer plugin installations.
Instructions: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

CVE-2015-0839 [HIGH] CVE-2015-0839 hplip: hp-plugin verified binary download with short key ID
CVE-2015-0839 hplip: hp-plugin verified binary download with short key ID
It was reported that the hp-plugin utility, included in the hplip package, downloads a binary driver and verifies it via a key specified by the key's short ID:
Downloading plug-in: [\ ] 0% Receiving digital keys: /bin/gpg --homedir /home/test/.hplip/.gnupg --no-permission-warning --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 0xA59047B9
A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to generate a key with the expected short ID and trick a user into downloading a malicious binary.
