HP's JetDirect Software Makes Networked Printers Vulnerable
Vulnerabilities in Hewlett-Packard's (HP's) JetDirect software could allow attackers to circumvent biometric and other security protections to access partially printed documents and crash all machines running the vulnerable software that are connected to the network. The software is used in internal, external, and embedded print servers from many manufacturers, not just HP. It is designed to manage print requests made through networks.
