Solution

This problem was fixed. The fix is included in:

Check Point recommends to always upgrade to the most recent version (upgrade Security Gateway / upgrade Security Management Server / upgrade Multi-Domain Security Management Server).

 

For R77, Check Point can supply a Hotfix. Contact Check Point Support to get a Hotfix for this issue.
A Support Engineer will make sure the Hotfix is compatible with your environment before providing the Hotfix.

Hotfix installation instructions:

  1. Hotfix has to be installed on Multi-Domain Security Management Server.

  2. Transfer the hotfix package to the machine (into some directory, e.g., /some_path_to_fix/).

  3. Unpack the hotfix package:

    [Expert@HostName]# cd /some_path_to_fix/
    [Expert@HostName]# tar zxvf fw1_wrapper_HOTFIX_NAME.tgz

  4. Install the hotfix:

    [Expert@HostName]# ./fw1_wrapper_HOTFIX_NAME

    Note: The script will stop all the Check Point services (cpstop) - read the output on the screen.

  5. Reboot the machine.
