A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Check Point VPN-1 and SecureClient up to 1.4.1 SP5 (Network Encryption Software). Affected is an unknown function of the component ISAKMP Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a stack-based overflow vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-121. A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function). This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:
Stack-based buffer overflow in Check Point VPN-1 Server 4.1 through 4.1 SP6 and Check Point SecuRemote/SecureClient 4.1 through 4.1 build 4200 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an ISAKMP packet with a large Certificate Request packet.
