CVE-1999-1204

Summary

CVE-1999-1204 is a vulnerability affecting Check Point Firewall-1. The issue arises when the firewall fails to adequately manage restricted keywords, such as 'Mail' or 'auth,' in user-defined objects. This flaw can lead to the creation of overly permissive rules, granting access to unintended systems with a default "ANY" address. The consequence is a potential security breach, allowing unauthorized access to networks. Organizations using Check Point Firewall-1 must address this vulnerability promptly by updating their software or configuring their firewalls to prevent the usage of restricted keywords in user-defined objects.
