Description:
Justin Rush has reported a 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:
It is reportedly not possible to disable the FTP service.
Restrict access to the service.
