DESCRIPTION:
evader has reported a security issue in Kyocera FS-3830N Printer,
which can be exploited by malicious people to gain knowledge of or
potentially to modify certain system information.

The security issue is caused due to the printer allowing access to
certain configuration settings without requiring prior authentication
via a request sent to port 9100/tcp. This may be exploited to disclose
and modify the configured settings.

Note: It has also been reported that other network-enabled Kyocera
printers have a default username "admin" and blank password for the
telnet configuration port.

SOLUTION:
Restrict access to the printer.
