CVE-2004-1714

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

BlackICE PC Protection and Server Protection install configuration files (firewall.ini, blackice.ini, sigs.ini, protect.ini) with Everyone Full Control permissions. A local user can modify these files, e.g., by adding an oversized rule to firewall.ini, causing a denial of service (crash) or configuration change.

Risk Assessment

The risk is that any local user can intentionally corrupt the firewall or protection program configuration, leading to a crash and interruption of system protection.

Recommendation

Immediately change the permissions of the listed files to more restrictive ones (e.g., administrators only) and consider updating the software to a version without this vulnerability.
