Researchers at Columbia University say millions of HP LaserJet printers are vulnerable to infected print jobs. Ang Cui and Salvatore Stolfo demonstrated an exploit whereby the duo could send virus-laden print jobs to a recently purchased LaserJet to overwrite the firmware and take control of the printer. HP has confirmed the exploit and offers a patch.
