CVE-2002-1463: Symantec Raptor Firewall 6.5 and 6.5.3, Enterprise Firewall 6.5.2 and 7.0, VelociRaptor Models 500/700/1000...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old weakness in several Symantec firewall and gateway products. They generated TCP initial sequence numbers that were easy to predict, which could let a remote attacker impersonate or spoof network connections. The main business concern is unmanaged legacy perimeter equipment that still handles traffic. Exposure is most likely in organizations with retained legacy Symantec Raptor, Enterprise Firewall, VelociRaptor, or Gateway Security appliances. If those products are fully retired, exposure is unlikely. Confirm through asset inventory rather than product names alone. Treat this as an inventory-driven legacy risk. It is not KEV-listed and has no supplied active exploitation evidence, but any affected internet-facing firewall should be prioritized for retirement or vendor-guided remediation. Mitigation focus: Inventory for the affected Symantec firewall and gateway products.; Check Symantec's archived advisory or support records for vendor correction guidance.; Retire or replace affected legacy perimeter devices where possible..
