CVE-2006-3540

Status: ModifiedMedium (4.9)—

Check Point Zone Labs ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6.5.722.000, 6.1.737.000, and possibly other versions do not properly validate RegSaveKey, RegRestoreKey, and RegDeleteKey function calls, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a certain combination of these function calls with an HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VETFDDNT\Enum argument.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
