CVE-2002-0209: Nortel Alteon ACEdirector WebOS 9.0, with the Server Load Balancing (SLB) and Cookie-Based Persistence feat...

Nortel Alteon ACEdirector WebOS 9.0, with the Server Load Balancing (SLB) and Cookie-Based Persistence features enabled, allows remote attackers to determine the real IP address of a web server with a half-closed session, which causes ACEdirector to send packets from the server without changing the address to the virtual IP address.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue can expose the real IP address of a web server behind a Nortel Alteon ACEdirector load balancer. If the hidden server IP is relied on for protection or segmentation, attackers could use the disclosure to target the origin server directly. The sources do not provide a CVSS score or confirmed active exploitation. Exposure appears limited to legacy Nortel Alteon ACEdirector WebOS 9.0 deployments using both SLB and Cookie-Based Persistence. Organizations without this specific product/version/feature combination are not indicated as affected by the supplied sources. Prioritize if legacy Alteon ACEdirector devices still front internet-facing web services. The issue is not described as direct code execution, but origin IP exposure can weaken perimeter assumptions and help attackers bypass load-balancer-level controls. Mitigation focus: Inventory any Nortel Alteon ACEdirector WebOS 9.0 deployments.; Check whether SLB and Cookie-Based Persistence are enabled together.; Review Nortel or successor vendor guidance for fixes or configuration changes..
