Secunia Advisory: SA9310
Release Date: 2003-07-21

Critical:
Moderately critical
Impact: Security Bypass
Where: Local system
Solution Status: Vendor Patch

Software:WatchGuard ServerLock 2.0

Subscribe: Instant alerts on relevant vulnerabilities


Description:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in WatchGuard ServerLock allowing malicious users to install rootkits.

One problem is that ServerLock only protects the actual executable file and not the running process. This can be exploited to load arbitrary DLL's, because the "ZwSetSystemInformation()" doesn't require driver keys to exist in the registry.

Another problem is that it is possible to access "\Device\PhysicalMemory" by creating symlinks to it.

Solution:
Version 2.0.4 is not vulnerable. The updated version should be available from:
