Repeated attacks will probably result in a full DoS event. An initial attack is most likely to freeze the system, but Cisco says that this can be handled by a simple reset. There is little that can be considered more dangerous than a vulnerability that can allow a remote attacker to compromise the first, main, and sometimes the only line of defense for a network, and of course, that's what a firewall represents.Ī Cisco advisory alerts users that some 6000/6500/7600 systems are subject to a denial of service (DoS) attack, which can be triggered from within the network or possibly by an outside attacker.
#CHECK POINT VPN 1 SECUREMOTE UPGRADE#
Check Point recommends that affected users upgrade to FireWall-1 NG FP1 or greater. The Check Point notice states that earlier versions, including NG FCS, NG FP1, and NG FP2, are treated differently, but the link to that information requires a user password, so I can't report any details on how they differ.Ĭheck Point no longer supports the versions of VPN-1 and SecuRemote/SecureClient affected by this vulnerability, according to ISS.

Check Point FireWall-1 HTTP Security Server included with 4.1.Check Point FireWall-1 HTTP Security Server included with NG FP1, FP2, FP3.Check Point FireWall-1 NG-AI R55, R54, including SSL hotfix.Xforce offers considerably more detail about the threat, including this listing of vulnerable software:
#CHECK POINT VPN 1 SECUREMOTE INSTALL#
If the HTTP Security Servers are not in use on the module, there is no need to install the fix.

Even an unsuccessful attack can apparently crash current sessions.Ĭheck Point's statement indicates that VPN-1/FireWall-1 NG (and above) are affected only when using HTTP Security Servers. The threats are caused by format string errors found only in the Application Intelligence component and the HTTP Security Server application proxy and occurs only during the parsing of HTTP traffic. Attackers could use this exploit to tamper with the firewall configuration, leading to complete compromise of the network.Ī flaw in the ISAKMP processing for VPN-1 Server, SecuRemote and SecureClient can allow a remote attacker to penetrate any VPN-1 server or client running SecuRemote and SecureClient.

One vulnerability is due to a flaw in the HTTP Security Server proxy that is included with all current versions of FireWall-1. VPN-1 is no longer supported and won't be patched.
#CHECK POINT VPN 1 SECUREMOTE PATCH#
reports that Check Point has provided a patch for its Next Generation (NG) series, but only about 70 percent of current users have installed the version that will be patched.
