HP has addressed two vulnerabilities of which one is RCE vulnerability rated Critical and the second is ACE vulnerability rated high in severity. Attackers can abuse these buffer overflow vulnerabilities to perform remote code execution and arbitrary code execution on vulnerable printer modules. Since the critical flaw is rated 9.8 on the CVSS scale and allows to execution of malicious code from remote, it’s important to know how to fix CVE-2022-28721, a critical RCE vulnerability in HP printer devices. The vendor has covered both the flaws in a security advisory to protect your printers against these vulnerabilities. Let’s see what is there in the advisory and see how to apply the patches to your printer modules.
Let’s start the post from the summary of the vulnerabilities and see how to fix CVE-2022-28721, a critical RCE vulnerability in HP printer devices.
