Application Intelligence is a relatively recent addition to the Firewall-1 product line and functions as an application proxy between untrusted networks and network servers for the purpose of detecting and preventing potential attacks. The vulnerabilities also exist within the HTTP Security Server application proxy that ships with all versions of Firewall-1 (including those prior to Application Intelligence releases). The affected components contain several remotely exploitable format string vulnerabilities. Impact: If HTTP Application Intelligence is enabled or the HTTP Security Server is used, a remote unauthenticated attacker may exploit one of these vulnerabilities and execute commands under the security context of the super-user, usually "SYSTEM", or "root". This attack may lead to direct compromise of the Firewall-1 server. Remote attackers may leverage this attack to successfully compromise heavily hardened networks by modifying or tampering with the firewall rules and configuration. Affected Versions: Checkpoint Firewall-1 NG-AI R55, R54, including SSL hotfix Checkpoint Firewall-1 HTTP Security Server included with NG FP1, FP2, FP3 Checkpoint Firewall-1 HTTP Security Server included with 4.1 For the complete ISS X-Force Security Advisory, please visit: http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/alerts/id/162 ______ About Internet Security Systems (ISS) Founded in 1994, Internet Security Systems (ISS) (Nasdaq: ISSX) is a pioneer and world leader in software and services that protect critical online resources from an ever-changing spectrum of threats and misuse.
