	The Brother NC-3100h provides network connectivity for Brother  printers
	(much in the same way as the HP JetDirect card).
	

	By   sending   an   oversized   administrative   password   using    the
	web-interface, an attacker can cause the printer to crash.
	

	Enter a password for the administrator that is 136  characters  or  more
	and <click> the button. The printer will crash.
