Canon Inc.

Canon Inc. experienced a critical vulnerability in printer drivers, CVE-2025-1268, allowing potential arbitrary code execution due to a buffer overflow. This flaw, discovered in the Generic Plus series of drivers, could disrupt print services and compromise system integrity. Though the likelihood of active exploitation is low and no incidents have been reported, Canon issued security updates for affected drivers. Canon urges users of office multifunction devices, small office printers, and production printers to update their drivers to prevent possible exploitation and maintain security.
