This Metasploit module exploits a command execution vulnerable in the hpssd.py daemon of the Hewlett-Packard Linux Imaging and Printing Project. According to MITRE, versions 1.x and 2.x before 2.7.10 are vulnerable. This Metasploit module was written and tested using the Fedora 6 Linux distribution. On the test system, the daemon listens on localhost only and runs with root privileges. Although the configuration shows the daemon is to listen on port 2207, it actually listens on a dynamic port. NOTE: If the target system does not have a 'sendmail' command installed, this vulnerability cannot be exploited.

A local attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary commands as the hplip user. As well, this update fixes a problem with some HP scanners on Mandriva Linux 2007.1, particularly HP PSC 1315, which wouldn't be detected and also fixes a problem with HP 1220 and possibly other models when scanning via the OpenOffice.org suite.
