Unauthenticated service interruption via undisclosed resource exhaustion
Published Aug 16, 2024 · Updated Aug 21, 2025
Denial of service in Lenovo printer firmware allows remote attackers on a shared network to make services unreachable until reboot. Lenovo identifies unrestricted resource allocation as the weakness but does not disclose the affected service, protocol, request, or code path. No authentication or user interaction is required; exploitation interrupts printer services until the device is rebooted.
