Directory traversal vulnerability in Check Point Firewall-1 R55W before HFA03 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via an encoded .. (dot dot) in the URL on TCP port 18264.

The Internet Key Exchange version 1 (IKEv1) implementation in Check Point products allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via certain crafted IKE packets, as demonstrated by the PROTOS ISAKMP Test Suite for IKEv1. NOTE: due to the lack of details in the advisory, it is unclear which of CVE-2005-3666, CVE-2005-3667, and/or CVE-2005-3668 this issue applies to.

Check Point Firewall-1 4.1 up to NG AI R55 allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information by sending an Internet Key Exchange (IKE) with a certain Vendor ID payload that causes Firewall-1 to return a response containing version and other information.

Heap-based buffer overflow in ASN.1 decoding library in Check Point VPN-1 products, when Aggressive Mode IKE is implemented, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by initiating an IKE negotiation and then sending an IKE packet with malformed ASN.1 data.

Buffer overflow in the ISAKMP functionality for Check Point VPN-1 and FireWall-1 NG products, before VPN-1/FireWall-1 R55 HFA-03, R54 HFA-410 and NG FP3 HFA-325, or VPN-1 SecuRemote/SecureClient R56, may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code during VPN tunnel negotiation.

The SSL/TLS handshaking code in OpenSSL 0.9.7a, 0.9.7b, and 0.9.7c, when using Kerberos ciphersuites, does not properly check the length of Kerberos tickets during a handshake, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted SSL/TLS handshake that causes an out-of-bounds read.

OpenSSL 0.9.6 before 0.9.6d does not properly handle unknown message types, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop), as demonstrated using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool.

The do_change_cipher_spec function in OpenSSL 0.9.6c to 0.9.6k, and 0.9.7a to 0.9.7c, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted SSL/TLS handshake that triggers a null dereference.

Stack-based buffer overflow in Check Point VPN-1 Server 4.1 through 4.1 SP6 and Check Point SecuRemote/SecureClient 4.1 through 4.1 build 4200 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an ISAKMP packet with a large Certificate Request packet.

Multiple format string vulnerabilities in HTTP Application Intelligence (AI) component in Check Point Firewall-1 NG-AI R55 and R54, and Check Point Firewall-1 HTTP Security Server included with NG FP1, FP2, and FP3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via HTTP requests that cause format string specifiers to be used in an error message, as demonstrated using the scheme of a URI.

Check Point FireWall-1 4.0 and 4.1 before SP5 allows remote attackers to obtain the IP addresses of internal interfaces via certain SecuRemote requests to TCP ports 256 or 264, which leaks the IP addresses in a reply packet.

Check Point FireWall-1 4.1 and Next Generation (NG), with UserAuth configured to proxy HTTP traffic only, allows remote attackers to pass unauthorized HTTPS, FTP and possibly other traffic through the firewall.

Check Point FireWall-1 SecuRemote/SecuClient 4.0 and 4.1 allows clients to bypass the "authentication timeout" by modifying the to_expire or expire values in the client's users.C configuration file.

Nokia Firewall Appliances running IPSO 3.3 and VPN-1/FireWall-1 4.1 Service Pack 3, IPSO 3.4 and VPN-1/FireWall-1 4.1 Service Pack 4, and IPSO 3.4 or IPSO 3.4.1 and VPN-1/FireWall-1 4.1 Service Pack 5, when SYN Defender is configured in Active Gateway mode, does not properly rewrite the third packet of a TCP three-way handshake to use the NAT IP address, which allows remote attackers to gain sensitive information.

The default configuration of SecuRemote for Check Point Firewall-1 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive configuration information for the protected network without authentication.

Format string vulnerability in Check Point VPN-1/FireWall-1 4.1 allows a remote authenticated firewall administrator to execute arbitrary code via format strings in the control connection.

Check Point Firewall-1 3.0b through 4.0 SP1 follows symlinks and creates a world-writable temporary .cpp file when compiling Policy rules, which could allow local users to gain privileges or modify the firewall policy.

Check Point VPN-1/FireWall-1 4.1 base.def contains a default macro, accept_fw1_rdp, which can allow remote attackers to bypass intended restrictions with forged RDP (internal protocol) headers to UDP port 259 of arbitrary hosts.

Check Point FireWall-1 3.0b through 4.1 for Solaris allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary policy files that end in a .cpp extension, which are set world-writable.

The Log Viewer function in the Check Point FireWall-1 GUI for Solaris 3.0b through 4.1 SP2 does not check for the existence of '.log' files when saving files, which allows (1) remote authenticated users to overwrite arbitrary files ending in '.log', or (2) local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

Buffer overflow in the GUI authentication code of Check Point VPN-1/FireWall-1 Management Server 4.0 and 4.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long user name.

FireWall-1 4.1 with a limited-IP license allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by sending a large number of spoofed IP packets with various source addresses to the inside interface, which floods the console with warning messages and consumes CPU resources.

Check Point VPN-1/FireWall-1 4.1 SP2 with Fastmode enabled allows remote attackers to bypass access restrictions via malformed, fragmented packets.

Check Point FireWall-1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (high CPU) via a flood of packets to port 264.

Check Point Firewall-1 session agent 3.0 through 4.1 generates different error messages for invalid user names versus invalid passwords, which allows remote attackers to determine valid usernames and guess a password via a brute force attack.
