Title: Brother NC-3100H Denial Of Service Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Brother produces various devices for the office environment including printers.
A vulnerability has been reported for Brother NC-3100h printers. Reportedly, it is possible to cause NC-3100h printers to crash when using the web interface.
The vulnerability is reportedly the result of a buffer overflow condition. If an attacker submits an overly long administrative password, via the web interface, it is possible to cause NC-3100h printer to stop responding. A restart may be required in order to regain normal functionality.
The attacker needs to submit an administrative password consisting of 136 or more characters. This will cause the printer to stop responding to requests for service.
Earlier versions of the Brother firmware may share this vulnerability, however this has not been confirmed.
