Description: fitz has reported a security issue in Check Point Firewall, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.

The security issue has been reported in the following products:
* VPN-1/FireWall-1
* VPN-1 VSX
* Provider-1
Solution: The vendor suggests renaming the CIFS service group.
