Check Point Firewall in security scare

HIGHLY CRITICAL errors in popular firewall software from Check Point need filling quick, according to a security bulletin from Secunia.

The alert service said there are hotfixes available for Check Point's FireWall-1 NG with AI, and the Achilles' Hell is in the implementation of the H.323 protocol.

Check Point has acknowledged the problems, said Secunia, which can cause denial of service attacks or system access from default port 1720/tcp.
