Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

A vulnerability in Check Point Firewall-1 versions 4.1 through NG AI R55 allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information by sending an IKE packet with a specific Vendor ID payload, causing the firewall to respond with version and other details.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves information disclosure about the firewall's version and configuration, which could help an attacker plan further targeted attacks against known vulnerabilities in specific software versions.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade Check Point Firewall-1 to a version later than NG AI R55, which fixes this vulnerability. If upgrading is not possible, consider restricting IKE service access to trusted IP addresses.
