Re: CheckPoint Secure Platform Multiple Buffer Overflows



Please notice that when having admin access probably there are many other 
trivial ways to completely compromise a Secure Platform -get the "Expert" 
rights- but the paper interest is not this. What it is interesting is the high 
number of buffer overflows found in the CheckPoint applications and the fact 
that some times they can be exploited even if the platform is hardened via 
standard DAC policies + kernel patches, etc.
MAC policies or MLS System probably would have contained the attack.
