Is there anything more ironic than a firewall with a system-takeover vulnerability? |

ISS advisory about Checkpoint termed 'inacurate'
"An advisory about vulnerabilities in the popular Checkpoint firewall, put out by Internet Security Systems last week, was inaccurate, a senior Checkpoint official says.
Scott Ferguson, Checkpoint regional director for Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific, said the advice provided by ISS in its advisory was "not entirely accurate."
"One alleged flaw referred to a key exchange over private networks - this is referring to a three-year-old issue and the installed base has been upgraded a long time ago," Ferguson said." »www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/02/···498.html |

Re: Sweet.
Solution: Run both a hardware and software firewall. I run both a a netgear firewall and the latest ZA 4.5.538. That is plenty of protection for most home users. |
