Description
WorkCentre Pro contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to gain unauthorized access to arbitrary files. The issue is due to an input validation error in the ESS/ Network Controller within the PostScript file interpretation code. It is possible that the flaw may allow disclosure of the arbitrary files (e.g. encrypted password file) via a specially crafted PostScript file containing directory traversal characters (../), resulting in a loss of confidentiality.
