These machines use a modified version of Linux as their operating system. Now it has been discovered that it is possible to slip in manipulated system software as an update, because the system does not require a signature for firmware images. Hackers can subsequently dial in over the fax line, after which they have a fantastic gateway into the company network, assuming that the MFP is connected. <\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.retarus.com\/blog\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/09\/epson-wf2540.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10361\" src=\"https:\/\/www.retarus.com\/blog\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/09\/epson-wf2540.jpg\" alt=\"epson-wf2540\" width=\"710\" height=\"507\" \/><\/a> <span lang=\"EN-US\">The security researchers have played out this scenario in practice by exploiting the Epson \u201cWF-2540\u201d. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2016\/09\/27\/printerfax_crack_enables_patient_dialup_hack\/\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">According to an article in \u201cThe Register\u201d<\/span><\/a><span lang=\"EN-US\">, the researchers in Steinfurt suspect that most models in the \u201cWorkForce\u201d and \u201cStylus\u201d ranges are likely to be vulnerable in this way. And as these machines have been on the market since 1999, a huge number of MFPs may be affected. Epson planned to release a corrected version of the software for the WF-2540 in January of this year. Whether other, older models have already been repaired is unfortunately not shown in the corresponding <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/seclists.org\/bugtraq\/2016\/Sep\/54\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Bugtraq Mailing List<\/span><\/a><span lang=\"EN-US\"> entry. <\/span> <span lang=\"EN-US\">It goes without saying that with Retarus Fax Cloud Services nothing of this sort can happen and you are always on the safe side.
