    ZoneAlarm Flaw

    From ZD Net (again)
    Firewall-fooling flaw exposed
    A flaw in some of ZoneAlarm's security applications could have
    wide-reaching implications

    Zone Labs has no current plans to update its free firewall product to protect against this issue, the company said. Its paid products offer protection against the problem because of additional technology, called an operating system firewall, that is not part of the free network firewall, LaCour said.

    pretty much every software firewall can be duped like this, (only some are harder than others).

    i think its a bit unfair they are getting such a slating, i guess its due to the fact they've fixed it in the commercial product but not in the free one.
