Descriptions

Check Point ZoneAlarm Extreme Security before 15.8.211.19229 allows local users to escalate privileges. This occurs because of weak permissions for the %PROGRAMDATA%\CheckPoint\ZoneAlarm\Data\Updates directory, and a self-protection driver bypass that allows creation of a junction directory. This can be leveraged to perform an arbitrary file move as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.

Check Point ZoneAlarm Extreme Security versiones anteriores a 15.8.211.19229, permite a usuarios locales escalar privilegios. Esto ocurre debido a una debilidad de los permisos para el directorio %PROGRAMDATA%\CheckPoint\ZoneAlarm\Data\Updates, y una omisión del controlador de autoprotección que permite la creación de un directorio de unión. Esto puede ser aprovechado para llevar a cabo un movimiento arbitrario de archivos como NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
