Description:
Nicolas Robillard has reported a vulnerability in ZoneAlarm Pro and ZoneAlarm Security Suite, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the Ad-Blocking feature (disabled by default) when processing JavaScript and can be exploited by tricking a user into visiting a malicious web site containing specially crafted JavaScript.
Successful exploitation causes the system to become unstable or stop responding completely.
Solution:
Update to version 5.5.062 or later via the "Check For Update" feature.
