Epson EventManager Denial of Service Vulnerability

Epson EventManager is a program started when the computer starts and listens on port 2968 ('Network Scan' enabled by default), it allows to automate some actions of the Epson scanners (like the scan&save button) through the PushScan protocol. The secure strncpy function that copies the 'x-protocol-version' string in a 7 bytes buffer can be forced to (auto)terminate the program if it's longer than that size and starts with '1.'

Mitigation:

Upgrade to the latest version of Epson EventManager
