Discussion

Check Point VPN-1 ASN.1 Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

A remote buffer overflow vulnerability is reported in Check Point VPN-1 that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code in order to gain unauthorized access. This issue results from insufficient boundary checks performed by the application when processing user-supplied data.

This overflow occurs during the initial key exchange process, and can be triggered with a single UDP packet. Since ISAKMP uses the UDP transport, a spoofed source address can be used in an attack.

Check Point reports that for a single packet attack to succeed, VPN-1 must be configured for aggressive mode key exchange. Without aggressive mode, an attacker must initiate a real key negotiation session.

This vulnerability can lead to remote code execution in the context of the VPN-1 process. This can lead to a complete system compromise.

Check Point has released an advisory and fixes for this issue.
