HOCH 8.8CVE-2022-41604 · Published 27/09/2022 · updated 17/06/2026

Package	Affected versions	Patched versions
zonealarm checkpoint	`< 15.8.211.19229`	`15.8.211.19229`

Description

Check Point ZoneAlarm Extreme Security before 15.8.211.19229 allows local users to escalate privileges. This occurs because of weak permissions for the %PROGRAMDATA%\CheckPoint\ZoneAlarm\Data\Updates directory, and a self-protection driver bypass that allows creation of a junction directory. This can be leveraged to perform an arbitrary file move as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.
