Background
Note:
This Security Bulletin has been re-released with a new document number but without alteration of content. The purpose of this new number and re-release is to assure the document is available on all customer accessible databases.
This is a reformatted version of Security Bulletin HPSBMI0304-004 SSRT3515 rev.0.
Any file sent to the Jetdirect ftp service is printed. Because certain ftp directories have write permissions some security scanners report errors.
