Some of the DLLs loaded by Check Point ZoneAlarm up to 15.4.062 are taken from directories where all users have write permissions. This can allow a local attacker to replace a DLL file with a malicious one and cause Denial of Service to the client.
Executing commands or loading libraries from an untrusted source or in an untrusted environment can cause an application to execute malicious commands (and payloads) on behalf of an attacker.

Process control vulnerabilities of the first type occur when either data enters the application from an untrusted source and the data is used as part of a string representing a command that is executed by the application. By executing the command, the application gives an attacker a privilege or capability that the attacker would not otherwise have.
