# Overview
# 
#    Quote from http://www.xerox.com/
#    "The Xerox WorkCentre 7132 multifunction is the affordable transition
#     to the next level of productivity for your office. One easy-to-use
#     device offers powerful printing, copying, scanning, and faxing. The
#     WorkCentre 7132 also gives you color when you need it, for critical
#     documents and for added impact. Robust functions, straightforward
#     operation, and color within your budget . that should keep everyone
#     smiling and productive."
# 
#     During a brief assessment performed for Xerox WorkCentre 7132 it was
#     discovered that LPD daemon implementation contains a weakness
#     related  to robustness of LPD protocol handling. Attacker can crash
#     the whole device with a relatively simple attack. Recovering from
#     the denial-of-service condition requires power cycling the device.
# 
# Details
# 
#     Device freezes when it is flooded with LPD requests having oversized
#     queue name length AND other features of the device are accessed
#     during the attack.
# 
#     The LPD daemon terminates the connection when it receives a request
#     with an oversized queue name. The required minimum length for this
#     seems to vary. Our proof-of-concept attack sends ASCII character
#     blocks to the LPD daemon until connection is closed, while sending
#     HTTP requests to the web administration interface.
# 
#     By flooding the device with these invalid LPD requests and accessing
#     other features at the same time, the device can be crashed. This was
#     verified with two different firmware versions (1.202.1 and 1.202.5).
# 
#     It must be noted that successful denial-of-service attack requires
#     the steps described above. Sending requests with oversized queue
#     names does crash the device by itself.
# 
#     Due to the black box nature of the performed attack against a
#     production device, we were not able to determine the exact root
#     cause for the crash. According to vendor this is caused by a memory
#     leak, but further exploitability or memory corruption has neither
#     been confirmed nor denied.
# 
#     Vulnerability was detected with an LPD protocol implementation
#     written for Sulley Fuzzing Framework.
# 
# 
# Preconditions
# 
#     *LPD daemon is enabled.
#     *Attacker has network access to the LPD daemon
#     *Attacker has network access to other features OR
#     *Valid user uses the device on location
# 
# 
# Symptoms of successful attack
# 
#     One or more of the following:
#      *Control panel lights are blinking, no response to pushing buttons
#      *LCD panel displays error message
#      *LCD panel displays a halted progress bar
#      *Switching power off from on/off button takes more than 10 seconds
# 
# Proof of Concept:
# 
#     Python code available at:
#     http://www.louhinetworks.fi/advisory/xerox/exploit.py

# 
#     Web interface requests are performed with a separate Python
#     process/script in order to achieve more reliable exploitation under
#     Windows.
# 
# Mitigation:
# 
#     Preventive
#      *Install patch from vendor
#      *Configure IPS signature for LPD requests with oversized queue
#       names
#      *Allow only trusted users to access LPD daemon
#      *Disable LPD daemon
# 
#     Detective
#      *Configure IDS signature for LPD requests with oversized queue
#       names
