ZoneAlarm is a firewall software package designed for Microsoft Windows operating systems. It is distributed and maintained by Zone Labs.
ZoneAlarm does not properly handle some types of traffic. When ZoneAlarm is configured to block all traffic, and a Syn flood of 300 or more packets is sent to a host running the vulnerable software, the system becomes unstable. This problem has been reported as leading to a denial of service condition.

ZoneAlarm Pro 3.1 and 3.0 Denial of Service Vulnerability
Author: Abraham Lincoln Hao / SunNinja
e-Mail: abraham@nssolution.com / SunNinja@Scientist.com
Advisory Code: NSSI-2002-zonealarm3
Tested: Under Win2k Advance Server with SP3 / WinNT 4.0 with SP6a / Win2K Professional / WinNT 4.0 workstation
Vendor Status: Zone Labs is already contacted 1 month ago and they informed me that they going to release an update or new version to patched the problem.
This vulnerability is confirmed by the vendor.
Vendors website: http://www.zonelabs.com
Severity: High
Overview:
New ZoneAlarm� Pro delivers twice the securityZone Labs award-winning, personal firewall trusted by millions, plus advanced privacy features.
the award-winning PC firewall that blocks intrusion attempts and protects against Internet-borne threats like worms, Trojan horses, and spyware.
ZoneAlarm Pro 3.1 and 3.0 doubles your protection with enhanced Ad Blocking and expanded Cookie Control to speed up your Internet experience and stop
Web site spying. Get protected. Compatible with Microsoft� Windows� 98/Me/NT/2000 and XP.
ZoneAlarm Pro 3.1.291 and 3.0 contains vulnerability that would let the attacker consume all your CPU and Memory usage that would result to Denial of
Service Attack through sending multiple syn packets / synflooding.
Details:
Zone-Labs ZoneAlarm Pro 3.1.291 and 3.0 contains a vulnerability that would let the attacker consume all your CPU and Memory usage that would result to
Denial of Service Attack through Synflooding that would cause the machine to stop from responding. Zone-Labs ZoneAlarm Pro 3.1.291 and 3.0 is also vulnerable
with IP Spoofing. This Vulnerabilities are confirmed from the vendor.
Test diagram:
[*Nix b0x with IP Spoofing scanner / Flooder] <===[10/100mbps switch===> [Host with ZoneAlarm]
1] Tested under default install of the 2 versions after sending minimum of 300 Syn Packets to port 1-1024 the machine will hang-up until the attack stopped.
2] We configured the ZoneAlarm firewall both version to BLOCK ALL traffic setting after sending a minimum of 300 Syn Packets to port 1-1024 the machine will
hang-up until the attack stopped.
Workaround:
Disable ZoneAlarm and Hardened TCP/IP stack of your windows and Install latest Security patch.
Note: To people who's having problem reproducing the vulnerability let me know :)
Any Questions? Suggestions? or Comments? let us know.
