| Vector | AV:L/AC:H/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
ZoneAlarm Extreme Security version 9.1.507.000
Description
A race condition issue exists, allowing local users to bypass kernel-mode hook handlers and execute dangerous code that would otherwise be blocked. This is achieved through certain user-space memory changes during hook-handler execution. The issue is related to a flaw in a protection mechanism for situations where a crafted program has already begun to execute.
Recommendations
For ZoneAlarm Extreme Security version 9.1.507.000, consider disabling the kernel-mode hook handlers as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to user-space memory to minimize the risk of exploitation.
