    On September 4th, a message was posted to Bugtraq describing a
    potential problem with the WatchGuard Firebox default configuration
    file. The poster, Sr. Alfonso Lazaro stated that, by default, the
    WatchGuard Firebox allowed ping traffic from any interface to any
    interface. When the WatchGuard Rapid Response Team saw the post, we
    began trying both to contact Sr. Lazaro and to verify his
    observations. We reviewed our source code and currently shipping
    versions of the default configuration file as well as code and files
    several generations back. To date, we have been unsuccessful
    contacting Sr. Lazaro. We completed our review of the relevant files
    and code and were unable to locate anything to support the
    observations Sr. Lazaro described in his post. In the absence of any
    further information from Sr. Lazaro, we believe that his report of a
    vulnerability in Firebox default configuration files is in error.
