This fails if a captive portal is used for WLAN authentication (Hotels, Airports, etc) This could have a security impact as it downloads information without verifying the source. A specially crafted config file or limitless (/dev/null, /dev/random) file could have an impact. 1. Use TLS and verify certificates 2. Use GPG to sign the file and verify on the client. 3. Limit the maximum amount of bytes downloaded 4. Validate the config file. 5. Retry the upgrade check at a later time (after wlan authentication) 6. Use APT to check for updates if that's possible PythonArgs: ['/usr/bin/hp-upgrade', '--check'] Traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/hp-upgrade", line 210, in <module> hplip_version_conf = ConfigBase(HPLIP_Ver_file) File "/usr/share/hplip/base/g.py", line 81, in __init__ self.read() File "/usr/share/hplip/base/g.py", line 121, in read self.conf.readfp(fp) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ConfigParser.py", line 324, in readfp self._read(fp, filename) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ConfigParser.py", line 512, in _read raise MissingSectionHeaderError(fpname, lineno, line) MissingSectionHeaderError: File contains no section headers. file: /tmp/tmpA55LLA, line: 1 '<HTML><HEAD><TITLE> Web Authentication Redirect</TITLE><META http-equiv="Cache-control" content="no-cache"><META http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache"><META http-equiv="Expires" content="-1"><META http-equiv="refresh" content="1; URL=https://__REMOVED__/login.html?redirect=hplip.sourceforge.net/hplip_web.conf"></HEAD></HTML>\r\n' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1091567/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
