Subject: FLASH: F5: Print-action - security issue?
From: Thorvald Neumann

Hejsan!

How safe or unsafe is the print-function in Flash 5? I just had a talk
with our system admin and told him of the printing capability.

He assumed now it might be possible to start a
Denial-Of-Service-attack on network-printers from within a Flash
movie.

What do you think?

Best wishes,
