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.

You can find more information here, and at Check Point's own site, here. µ

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
