Is this another security issue for MFPs?

Forescout Cybersecurity published new report on 9 new security vulnerabilities in some IoT devices

  • Vulnerabilities in the communications protocols used by millions of Internet of Things (IoT) and operational technology (OT) devices could allow cyber attackers to intercept and manipulate data.
  • vulnerabilities in some TCP/IP stacks have been detailed by cybersecurity researchers at Forescout, who've dubbed the set of nine new vulnerabilities as 'Number:Jack'.
  • TCP/IP stacks found to contain the vulnerabilities include several open-source stacks analysed in Forescout's previous study, including uIP, FNET, picoTCP, Nut/Net, cycloneTCP and uC/TCP-IP.
  • Vulnerabilities have also been discovered in Siemens' Nucleus NET, Texas Instruments' NDKTCPIP and Microchip's MPLAB Net.
  • (this may impact MFP manufacturers that outsource their code, and is similar to vulnerabilities that were found in MFPs that use Treck Software)
