Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE describes a remote denial-of-service condition in Check Point Security Gateway R77 and R77.10 when URL Filtering or Identity Awareness is enabled. A crafted HTTPS request can crash the gateway. The business impact is availability: a perimeter security control may stop processing traffic until recovered. Exposure is most likely where legacy Check Point R77 or R77.10 gateways still run URL Filtering or Identity Awareness and handle untrusted HTTPS traffic. The bundle does not identify other affected versions or products. Treat this as an availability risk for legacy perimeter security infrastructure. It is not supported here as actively exploited, but affected gateways could crash remotely, so confirm exposure and vendor guidance promptly. Mitigation focus: Review Check Point advisory SK98935 for official remediation or workaround guidance.; Inventory gateways for Security Gateway R77 or R77.10 deployments.; Identify whether URL Filtering or Identity Awareness blades are enabled..
