Unspecified vulnerability in Check Point Security Gateway R75, R76, R77, and R77.10, when UserCheck is enabled and the (1) Application Control, (2) URL Filtering, (3) DLP, (4) Threat Emulation, (5) Anti-Bot, or (6) Anti-Virus blade is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (fwk0 process crash, core dump, and restart) via a redirect to the UserCheck page.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw can crash and restart a Check Point firewall process when specific legacy gateways use UserCheck with certain security blades. The business impact is service disruption, not documented data theft. Exposure depends on an older Check Point deployment and a specific feature configuration. Likely limited to legacy Check Point Security Gateway R75 through R77.10 deployments with UserCheck enabled and Application Control, URL Filtering, DLP, Threat Emulation, Anti-Bot, or Anti-Virus in use. Treat as a targeted availability risk for legacy Check Point gateways. Prioritize if affected systems protect business-critical traffic or internet-facing services. If no affected versions or UserCheck configurations exist, residual urgency is low. Mitigation focus: Review Check Point SK100505 for the vendor-supported fix or workaround.; Upgrade or migrate affected legacy gateways using Check Point-supported guidance.; Confirm whether UserCheck is required on affected gateways..
