Lexmark offers fix for security vulnerability
A security researcher, Peter Geissler, dropped a zero-day remote code execution (RCE) chain of vulnerabilities affecting Lexmark MFPs/printers after claiming the disclosure reward he was offered was “laughable”.
- In a tweet dated January 10, Geissler published a link to a GitHub repository containing information on the vulnerability chain.
- several isolated or “seemingly harmless” functions could be exploited to “eventually fully compromise the device”.
- issue impacts over 100 models but has now been patched by Lexmark (owned by Ninestar of China)
