Description:
Sylvain Roger has discovered a weakness in SecuRemote / SecureClient, which potentially can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain knowledge of certain information.

The weakness is caused due to inappropriate default permissions on the registry keys under "HKLM/SOFTWARE/Checkpoint/SecureRemote/Credentials/". These keys are used to store encrypted "Auto Local Logon" credentials and are readable by all users on the system.

The weakness has been confirmed in version R56 HFA_03. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Disable the "Auto Local Logon" feature (disabled by default).

Grant only trusted users access to affected systems.

Provided and/or discovered by:
Sylvain Roger, Solucom.

Changelog:
2005-07-26: Added CVE reference.
2005-07-28: Updated credits.
