Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Ricoh SP C250DN 1.05 devices allow denial of service (issue 2 of 3). Unauthenticated crafted packets to the IPP service will cause a vulnerable device to crash. A memory corruption has been identified in the way of how the embedded device parsed the IPP packets

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Unauthenticated remote attackers can send crafted IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) packets to the Ricoh SP C250DN printer firmware 1.05, triggering memory corruption during packet parsing that causes the device to crash and result in denial of service.

MitigationIsolate affected devices on a restricted network segment and disable IPP service if not required; contact Ricoh for firmware patch availability.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify printer model
    Check the device label or access the printer's web interface (if available) to confirm the exact model number - look for SP C250DN, SP C250SF, SP C252DN, or SP C252SF
    Affected if The model is any of these four listed models
  2. Check firmware version
    Access the printer's web interface or print a configuration page to find the installed firmware version. For SP C250DN, look specifically for version 1.05; for other models, all versions are affected.
    Affected if Firmware version is 1.05 on SP C250DN, or any version on SP C250SF, SP C252DN, or SP C252SF
  3. Verify IPP service is enabled
    Access the printer's web interface and navigate to the network or services configuration section to check if Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is enabled
    Affected if IPP service is enabled on the device

Your device is affected if it is one of the four listed Ricoh models and IPP protocol is enabled, regardless of firmware version (or version 1.05 specifically for SP C250DN).

Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.

Check your environment

Paste your version and any relevant configuration and it will be compared against the affected criteria above. Do not include secrets or credentials.
