CVE-1999-1204
Check Point Firewall-1 does not properly handle certain restricted keywords (e.g., Mail, auth, time) in user-defined objects, which could produce a rule with a default "ANY" address and result in access to more systems than intended by the administrator.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.36%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
