Remediation

Recommended actions to resolve this vulnerability, in priority order.

  1. Configuration

    Disable or do not use the 'request more information' / 'send additional event details' behavior so ZoneAlarm does not transmit system or network details to the Zone Labs server.

    ZoneAlarm request_more_information = disabled
  2. Compensating control

    At the network perimeter, block or restrict outbound connections from affected hosts to the Zone Labs server(s) (egress firewall rules/ACLs) to prevent cleartext transmission of sensitive system and network information.
