VAR-199907-0025
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2023-12-18 12:33Firewall-1 sets a long timeout for connections that begin with ACK or other packets except SYN, allowing an attacker to conduct a denial of service via a large number of connection attempts to unresponsive systems. A denial of service condition exists in some implementations of Firewall-1 by Checkpoint Software. This denial of service attack is possible due to the way Firewall-1 handles TCP connections. Typically to initiate a TCP connection, a SYN packet is sent to the destination host. On systems where Firewall-1 is installed, this packet is first passed through an internal stack maintained by the Firewall before it is passed onto the operating system's native stack. When Firewall-1 filters this packet, it checks it against the rule base. If the session is allowed where it's rulebase is concerned, it is added to the connections table with a timeout of 60 seconds. When the remote host responds with an ACK (Acknowledge) packet, the session is bumped up to a 3600 second timeout. However, if you initiate a connection with an ACK packet, Firewall-1 compares it against the rule base, if allowed it is added to the connections table. However, the timeout is set to 3600 seconds and does not care if a remote system responds. You now have a session with a 1 hour timeout, even though no system responded. If this is done with a large amount of ACK packets, it will result in a full connections table. This results in your Firewall-1 refusing subsequent connections from any source effectively rendering the Firewall-1 useless in a 'failed closed' state
