While Lexmark has already made updated firmware correcting the vulnerabilities available, a short-term workaround until the update has been installed would be to deactivate the option for receiving color faxes (which virtually never occur in the real world).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lexmark customers who have connected their MFPs to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.retarus.com\/services\/fax\/\">Cloud Fax Services<\/a> provided by Retarus, can confidently and safely ignore the warning.
