While the server is hung, print jobs over the network are blocked and the web interface is inaccessible. An attacker can continuously send this malformed request to keep the device inaccessible to legitimate traffic.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.0","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":7.5},"cwes":[],"references":["http://packetstormsecurity.com/files/144908/Debut-Embedded-httpd-1.20-Denial-Of-Service.html","https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/43119/","https://www.trustwave.com/Resources/Security-Advisories/Advisories/TWSL2017-017/?fid=10211","https://www.trustwave.com/Resources/SpiderLabs-Blog/Denial-of-Service-Vulnerability-in-Brother-Printers/?page=1&year=0&month=0&LangType=1033","http://packetstormsecurity.com/files/144908/Debut-Embedded-httpd-1.20-Denial-Of-Service.html"],"products":["brother:dcp-j132w_firmware"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T20:47:01.408438353+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2017-16249","score":0.59386,"percentile":0.9912,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
