Description: A denial of service vulnerability was reported in IBM's Infoprint printers. A remote user can cause the printer to crash.
It is reported that a remote user can send "an excessive number of characters" to the printer's remote management telnet service to cause it to refuse to allow any further login sessions. Cycling the power to the device will reportedly restore login functionality.
According to the report, it may also be possible to crash the entire printer by sending a large amount of data (several kbytes) to the telnet port.
The vendor has reportedly been notified.
Impact: A remote user can cause the printer or the printer's telnet management port to crash.
Solution: No solution was available at the time of this entry.
