Some of the DLLs loaded by Check Point ZoneAlarm up to 15.4.062 are taken from directories where all users have write permissions. This can allow a local attacker to replace a DLL file with a malicious one and cause Denial of Service to the client.
Executing commands or loading libraries from an untrusted source or in an untrusted environment can cause an application to execute malicious commands (and payloads) on behalf of an attacker.
The product searches for critical resources using an externally-supplied search path that can point to resources that are not under the product's direct control.
