Summary
hplip vulnerability
Details

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.
