Disable Firewire/1394 Connectors

FaibleNiveau 2Revue manuelleprinter

Description

Firewire is a physical interface, or connection, commonly used to connect computers, peripherals, and other consumer products. These interfaces are often used by MFDs to provide users with the ability to print documents stored on portable hard drives. It is recommended that Firewire ports be disabled. Firewire allows a device to have direct memory access (DMA), allowing it to perform I/O without the use of CPU resources. A device connected through a Firewire connection has the potential to write to and read from arbitrary memory locations in the MFD, potentially resulting in reduced levels of data integrity and confidentiality.
