CVE-2024-51982 | Unauthenticated Denial of Service (DoS) via malformed PJL request affecting multiple models from Brother Industries, Ltd, FUJIFILM Business Innovation, and Ricoh.

An unauthenticated attacker who can connect to TCP port 9100 can issue a Printer Job Language (PJL) command that will crash the target device. The device will reboot, after which the attacker can reissue the command to repeatedly crash the device. A malformed PJL variable FORMLINES is set to a non number value causing the target to crash.
