> RDP Communications Issue
> Statement:
> Check Point has become aware of a condition with RDP Protocol in
> VPN-1/ firewall-1 4.1 and Next Generation (NG) that may affect system
> stability. If the error occurs on a 4.1 module, certain management
> functions, such as logging and administrator communications, will
> halt. On NG modules, encryption key processing may be briefly
> interrupted. At no point is security compromised, and the firewall
> continues to enforce the security policy and allows appropriate
> traffic. No unauthorized access, information leakage or breach of
> security occurs. Check Point knows of no organizations that have had
> systems affected by this issue. However, Check Point recommends the
> hot fix below be immediately installed. QinetiQ SHC Research reported
> this issue to us.

> My question is, Is this issue really very serious? that I have to
> install the hotfix?
>
> If yes, do I need to apply the hotfix on both the firewall module as
> well as the management module server also ( in a distributed
> environment)

> Looking forward for an early response....
