Subject: FreezeX file access vulnerability

Affected Products:
	Faronics FreezeX v. 1.00.100.0666
	(http://www.faronics.com/html/Freezex.asp)

FreezeX is a program that promise, it can prevent executable files from 
beeing run on windows OS.

FreezeX has a database of every file from when it was installed (db.fzx) 
this file i located in C:\Program Files\Faronics\FreezeX\db.fzx, this 
file seems inaccessable, when trying accessing this directory, windows 
reports Access Denied from "dos" and windows.

Though one with administrative access can simply overwrite this file
with misc data, resulting in killing FreezeX

Proof Of Concept:

C:\> echo "diediedie" > C:\Program Files\Faronices\Freezex\db.fzx

	Reboot windows, and FreezeX can no longer determine what
	files have permission to be run, and needs to be reinstalled
	to work again.

Vender status:
	Faronics know of this and promises it will be fixed shortly.
