Local privilege escalation to root in the DynamicCLI daemon via local world-writable control socket

The Gaia OS DynamicCLI daemon runs as root and listens on a world-writable local socket (/tmp/dynamic_socket) without authenticating connecting processes. An authenticated local user can send a command to the socket and have it executed as root.

Input Validation Vulnerability in Gaia Portal backend handlers allows privilege escalation by an authenticated user

An input and authorization validation vulnerability in Gaia Portal backend handlers could allow an authenticated, non-administrative user to perform privileged operations that should be restricted to administrators.

NULL pointer deref in signature_algorithms processing

An OpenSSL TLS server may crash if sent a maliciously crafted renegotiation ClientHello message from a client. If a TLSv1.2 renegotiation ClientHello omits the signature_algorithms extension (where it was present in the initial ClientHello), but includes a signature_algorithms_cert extension then a NULL pointer dereference will result, leading to a crash and a denial of service attack. A server is only vulnerable if it has TLSv1.2 and renegotiation enabled (which is the default configuration). OpenSSL TLS clients are not impacted by this issue. All OpenSSL 1.1.1 versions are affected by this issue. Users of these versions should upgrade to OpenSSL 1.1.1k. OpenSSL 1.0.2 is not impacted by this issue. Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1k (Affected 1.1.1-1.1.1j).

Directory Traversal and File upload allows execution of arbitrary script on the Management Server

A directory traversal and file upload vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to upload and execute arbitrary scripts on Check Point Management Server.

Stack overflow in login process to the Security Management and Log Servers

A stack overflow during the unauthenticated login process may allow an attacker to run arbitrary code remotely with root privileges.

Heap-based Buffer Overflow in VPN Certificate ASN.1 Decoding

A heap-based buffer overflow in VPN certificate ASN.1 decoding may allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on Check Point Quantum Security Management and Quantum Security Gateway systems.

Authentication Bypass in the SmartConsole Login Process Using an Application Token

An authentication bypass vulnerability in the Check Point SmartConsole login process allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to obtain an application login token and use it to authenticate with full administrative privileges. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to modify security policies and security configurations. Remote exploitation requires internet access to the Management Server IP address and a configuration that does not restrict Trusted Clients. Check Point is aware that this vulnerability is being exploited and has affected a very small number of customers.

Management Authentication Bypass and Privilege Escalation

An authentication bypass vulnerability in Check Point Security Management and Multi-Domain Security Management allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute administrative commands on the Management Server. Successful exploitation may also allow command execution on managed Security Gateways. Exploitation requires network access to the Management Server without firewall protection or a configuration that does not restrict Trusted Clients.

Local Privilege Escalation in Gaia Portal

A vulnerability in Check Point Gaia Portal allows an authenticated attacker with read-only Gaia Portal privileges to execute commands with root privileges.

Authenticated Administrator Role-Based Access Control Bypass in Compliance

When Compliance is enabled on Check Point Multi-Domain Management, an authenticated administrator with read-write access to one Management Domain (CMA) can modify stored metadata associated with Compliance Best Practices in another Management Domain, where the administrator has no access permissions, bypassing Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).

Out of Bounds read in the CPCA process on Check Point Management Server

In rare scenarios, the cpca process on the Security Management Server / Domain Management Server may exit unexpectedly, creating a core dump file. When the cpca process is down, VPN and SIC connectivity issues may occur if the CRL is not present in the Security Gateway's CRL cache.

Authenticated Gaia users can inject code or commands by global variables through special HTTP requests. A Security fix that mitigates this vulnerability is available.

The Check Point Gaia Portal's GUI Clients allowed authenticated administrators with permission for the GUI Clients settings to inject a command that would run on the Gaia OS.
