Overview

CVE-2006-1221 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting zonelabs zonealarm_security_suite. It was published on March 14, 2006 and has a CVSS 2.0 base score of 6.2 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 2.0 base score of 6.2, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

Untrusted search path vulnerability in the TrueVector service (VSMON.exe) in Zone Labs ZoneAlarm 6.x and Integrity does not search ZoneAlarm's own folders before other folders that are specified in a user's PATH, which might allow local users to execute code as SYSTEM by placing malicious DLLs into a folder that has insecure permissions, but is searched before ZoneAlarm's folder. NOTE: since this issue is dependent on the existence of a vulnerability in a separate product (weak permissions of executables or libraries, or the execution of malicious code), perhaps it should not be included in CVE.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from zonelabs. Update zonealarm_security_suite to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
