HPLIP Vulnerabilities — Ubuntu Security Update (USN-9037-1)

USN-9037-1 fixes CVE-2026-91097 in HPLIP (HP Linux Imaging and Printing) on Ubuntu: improper data handling causes an out-of-bounds write, letting an attacker cause denial of service, expose sensitive information, or execute arbitrary code. Update: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade hplip and restart any print services using it.

SharedLicense लाइसेंस के तहत इसका अर्थ

An out-of-bounds write in the print stack is reachable through crafted print jobs or device communication — on print servers it runs in the context of the printing service, a code-execution foothold on the host.

It was discovered that HPLIP did not properly handle certain data, which
could result in an out-of-bounds write. An attacker could possibly use this
issue to cause a denial of service, expose sensitive information or execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-91097)

It was discovered that HPLIP did not properly handle certain input, which
could result in a heap-based buffer overflow. An attacker could possibly
use this issue to cause a denial of service, expose sensitive information
or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-91098)

It was discovered that HPLIP created certain files with insecure
permissions. An attacker could possibly use this issue to expose or modify
sensitive information. (CVE-2026-91099)

It was discovered that HPLIP did not properly handle certain input while
issuing an OS command. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute
arbitrary commands. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu
18.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-91100)

It was discovered that HPLIP did not properly validate certain array
indices. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of
service, expose sensitive information or execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2026-91101)

It was discovered that HPLIP did not properly handle certain input while
issuing an OS command. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute
arbitrary commands. (CVE-2026-91102)

It was discovered that HPLIP did not properly handle certain numeric
values, which could result in an integer underflow. An attacker could
possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service, expose sensitive
information or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-91103)

It was discovered that HPLIP did not properly handle certain input, which
could result in a heap-based buffer overflow. An attacker could possibly
use this issue to cause a denial of service, expose sensitive information
or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-91104, CVE-2026-91105, CVE-2026-91106)

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

What is CVE-2026-91097?
It is an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in HPLIP (HP Linux Imaging and Printing) caused by improper data handling, leading to denial of service, information exposure, or arbitrary code execution. Fixed in USN-9037-1 (November 10, 2026).
Who is affected?
Ubuntu systems with HPLIP installed — print servers, CUPS queues backed by HP devices, and workstations with HP printers.
How do I apply the fix?
Run sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade hplip and restart CUPS (systemctl restart cups) so the print pipeline loads the patched code.
Why does a print driver get a CVE?
Print drivers parse bidirectional device communication and job data — both attacker-influenceable inputs. Print spooler flaws have been a recurring privilege-escalation class across operating systems.
