Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.147682
Category:Denial of Service
Title:Xerox Printers DoS Vulnerability (XRX22-002)
Summary:Multiple Xerox printers are prone to a denial of service (DoS); vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
Multiple Xerox printers are prone to a denial of service (DoS)
vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
Xerox devices allow remote attackers to brick the device via a
crafted TIFF file in an unauthenticated HTTP POST request. There is a permanent denial of service
because image parsing causes a reboot, but image parsing is restarted as soon as the boot process
finishes. However, this boot loop can be resolved by a field technician. The TIFF file must have
an incomplete Image Directory.

Solution:
See the referenced vendor advisory for a solution.

CVSS Score:
