Aleph1,
I apologize if this has be brought up before, but with the recent
post concerning the QMS 2060 printers and the length of time I have sat on this
(4 months) I figured it should be released. I sent this information to OCE long
ago with no response. I am aware of the Intelligent Peripherals bulletin by
CIAC.

I have a few plotters / printers under my audit umbrella and
noticed something interesting on an Oce' 9400 plotter. The printer has the
ability to be a telnet proxy. Where as a user can hop via telnet to other
hosts. If the printer is not setup properly the connections will go unlogged.

All that is needed is a valid DNS server setup in the plotter
configuration.

And anyone can use the plotter as an anonymous telnet proxy.
Fix:
Enable passwords for the accounts on the plotter:
syntax: set user add <NAME>
set user del <NAME>
set user passwd <NAME> [<PASSWORD>]
set user type <NAME> root|guest
set user from default|stored
Enable logging:
syntax: set logpath <LOGPATH> name <NEW_NAME>
set logpath <LOGPATH> type [[-]job] [[-]user] [[-]pgcnt] [[-]cksum]
[[-]printer] [[-]ioport]
set logpath <LOGPATH> port <TCP-PORT>|email|syslog
set logpath from default|stored
P.S. This plotter has ping functionality also. No, I have not tried DoS attacks
=)
syntax: ping [-s] <IPNAME> [<DATASZ> [<NUMPKTS>]]
