CWE-264Published: September 24, 2007· Updated: Jun 16, 2026
6.9
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
ZoneAlarm Pro 7.0.362.000 does not properly validate certain parameters to System Service Descriptor Table (SSDT) function handlers, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly gain privileges via the (1) NtCreatePort and (2) NtDeleteFile kernel SSDT hooks, a partial regression of CVE-2007-2083.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2007-5044 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
