Re: FIX for ZoneAlarm & KB951748 issue released
ZA's had the fix for several days now:
Resolution [was Workaround] for Sudden Loss of Internet Access Problem
(revised multiple times since release on 08 July 2008)
http://download.zonealarm.com/bin/free/pressReleases/2008/LossOfInternetAccessIssue.html
NB: Do NOT use Option #2 if at all possible! The vulnerability addressed by
KB951748 *is* a big deal! See
http://blog.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2008/07/patch_the_entire_internet_tues_1.html
Want to consider other, more highly-rated firewalls?
