ZoneAlarm Flaw Opens Firewalls To E-mail Attack

By TechWeb News

Zone Labs has alerted users that several versions of its personal firewall products are vulnerable to a buffer overflow attack conducted via e-mail that could leave supposedly-protected systems open to malicious code assaults, the company said.

The affected editions include the 4.0 versions of ZoneAlarm, ZoneAlarm Plus, and ZoneAlarm Pro; ZoneAlarm Pro 4.5; and Zone Labs Integrity Client 4.0 and 4.5.

"If successfully exploited, a skilled attacker could cause the firewall to stop processing traffic, execute arbitrary code, or elevate malicious code's privileges," ZoneAlarm said Wednesday in the alert posted on its Web site.

Ok, that was what the ZoneAlarm update was for. Zonealarm alerted me to a newer version of the software a few days ago. Couldn't find any info on what the update was for. But updated anyway.
