  1. Hp Printer And Dos Problem

    in On The Web

    Posted

    Found this and just wanted to share..Like i don't waste enough paper already... :blink:

    Not critical

    Impact: DoS

    Where: From local network

    Solution Status: Unpatched

    OS: HP PSC 2510 Photosmart All-in-One Printer

    Description:

    Weakness in HP PSC 2510 Photosmart All-in-One printer, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

    The printer reportedly has an undocumented feature that prints files written to a write-only directory, which is anonymously accessible via a FTP service. This can be exploited by anyone to place a large file in the directory, which will cause a large amount of papers to be printed.

    Solution:Restrict access to the service.

    It is reportedly not possible to disable the FTP service.
