Last modified
CVE-2018-17944 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. On certain Lexmark devices that communicate with an LDAP or SMTP server, a malicious administrator can discover LDAP or SMTP credentials by changing that server's hostname to one that they control, and then capturing the credentials that are sent there.
