Description:
hdiamant has discovered a security issue in the Samsung SCX-4200 Driver, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.
The problem is that the Samsung SCX-4200 Driver installation script makes some binaries (e.g. xsane, xscanimage, soffice, swriter, simpress, and scalc) setuid. This can be exploited to gain escalated privileges by executing one of the affected files.
The security issue has been confirmed in version 2.00.95. Other versions may also be vulnerable.
