Multiple buffer overflows in FTP Print Server 2.4 and 2.4.5 in HP LaserJet 5000 Series printers with firmware R.25.15 or R.25.47, and HP LaserJet 5100 Series printers with firmware V.29.12, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device crash) via a long string in the (1) LIST or (2) NLST command.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE affects old HP LaserJet 5000 and 5100 printers. A remote attacker who can reach the printer's FTP print service may crash the device by sending overly long FTP directory-listing requests. The documented impact is denial of service, not data theft or code execution. Exposure is likely limited to legacy HP LaserJet 5000 Series firmware R.25.15 or R.25.47 and LaserJet 5100 Series firmware V.29.12 with FTP printing reachable from untrusted networks. Treat this as a legacy infrastructure availability risk. Prioritize if affected printers support business-critical workflows or are reachable from broad internal, guest, or external networks. Mitigation focus: Inventory HP LaserJet 5000 and 5100 printers and firmware versions.; Disable FTP printing where it is not operationally required.; Restrict printer FTP access to trusted print-management networks only..
