Current Description
NOTE: this issue has been disputed by the vendor. Buffer overflow in the PKI Web Service in Check Point Firewall-1 PKI Web Service allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long (1) Authorization or (2) Referer HTTP header to TCP port 18624. NOTE: the vendor has disputed this issue, stating "Check Point Security Alert Team has analyzed this report. We've tried to reproduce the attack on all VPN-1 versions from NG FP2 and above with and without HFAs. The issue was not reproduced. We have conducted a thorough analysis of the relevant code and verified that we are secure against this attack. We consider this attack to pose no risk to Check Point customers." In addition, the original researcher, whose reliability is unknown as of 20090407, also states that the issue "was discovered during a pen-test where the client would not allow further analysis.

** DISPUTADA ** NOTA: este problema ha sido disputado por el proveedor. desbordamiento de buffer en PKI Web Service en Check Point Firewall-1 PKI Web Service permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (caída) y posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de una cabecera larga (1) Authorization o (2) Referer HTTP en el puerto TCP 18624. NOTA: el proveedor ha disputado este problema diciendo que "el equipo de alertas de seguridad de Check Point ha analizado este informe. hemos intentado reproducir el ataque sobre todas las versiones de VPN-1 desde NG FP2 y más arriba con y sin HFAs. El problema no fue reproducido. Hemos realizado un análisis completo del código relevante y verificado que estamos seguros contra este ataque. Consideramos que este ataque no supone ningún riesgo para los clientes de Check Point." Además, el investigador original, cuyo nivel de confianza es desconocido desde el 7 de abril del 2009, también dice que el problema "fue descubierto durante una prueba de penetración (pen-test) donde el cliente no permitió más análisis."
