In the new release of HPLIP, 3.15.7, upstream has changed the verification to be based on fingerprint instead of key id, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1432516/comments/7 v3.15.7 landed in Gentoo repository via https://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/net-print/hplip/hplip-3.15.7.ebuild?view=log Current stable version is =net-print/hplip-3.16.3, vulnerable versions are already removed. @ Security: Please vote!

From ${URL} : It was reported that the hp-plugin utility, included in the hplip package, downloads a binary driver and verifies it via a key specified by the key's short ID: Downloading plug-in: [\ ] 0% Receiving digital keys: /bin/gpg --homedir /home/test/.hplip/.gnupg --no-permission-warning --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 0xA59047B9 A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to generate a key with the expected short ID and trick a user into downloading a malicious binary. Original report: http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2015/q2/581 @maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.
