  HP Network-Enable Printers (JetDirect) Password Exposure
------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

HP Network Enabled printers have their SNMP variable accessible by a
simple SNMP READ. Issuing a request for a certain SNMP variable
(.iso.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.9.4.2.1.3.9.1.1.0) will exposes the HTTP and TELNET
administrative access password in HEX format.
