Check Point FW-1 NG FP3 & FP3 HF1: DoS attack against syslog daemon possible
I don't like to post buffer overflows and other attacks to the web but since all of you should be reading Bugtraq, I see no harm. This could be a big headache for some though. I pager went off about 65 times in two days.

Vulnerabilities: * Successful DoS from remote against syslog daemon of Check Point FW-1 NG FP3 (also FP3 HF1), perhaps remote root exploit possible. * Syslog message containing escape sequences directed to syslog daemon of Check Point FW-1 NG FP3 (including HF1 and HF2) remain unfiltered and cause strange output behaviour if the log is viewed on console.
