Title: Check Point Firewall-1 Session Agent Impersonation Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
A vulnerability exists in the "Session Agent" portion of Firewall-1, from Check Point. This vulnerability appears to affect all versions of the session agent prior to the one shipped in FW-1 4.1. The session agent listens on a Windows 9x or NT box for connections from the firewall, requesting user authentication for connections. This information is all transmitted in cleartext, and is unauthenticated. This means it can be sniffed. In addition, the agent accepts connections from any host. Any person who can connect to the session agent can impersonate the Firewall-1 module, and request username and password information. If supplied, this can result in the compromise of that username and password.
Affected Products:
- Check Point Software Firewall-1 3.0.0
- Check Point Software Firewall-1 4.0.0
