What is CVE-2013-5636?

A vulnerability in Check Point Endpoint Security's Media Encryption EPM Explorer allows attackers with physical proximity to exploit the device-locking mechanism. The flaw in the Unlock.exe component means that password failures are not tied to the device ID, enabling adversaries to overwrite sensitive files (DVREM.EPM) after multiple password attempts, leading to potential unauthorized access. Proper security measures and software updates are necessary to mitigate this vulnerability.
