CVE-1999-1062

Summary

CVE-1999-1062 is a vulnerability affecting HP Laserjet printers with JetDirect cards. When these printers are configured with TCP/IP, attackers can bypass print filters and directly send PostScript documents to TCP ports 9099 and 9100. This allows them to execute arbitrary code, potentially leading to unauthorized access or denial-of-service attacks. The vulnerability poses a significant risk, especially in enterprise environments where printers are often connected to networks without proper security measures in place. It is crucial that affected devices are updated or configured to prevent unauthorized access.
