CVE-2002-2294: Multiple buffer overflows in Symantec Raptor Firewall 6.5 and 6.5.3, Enterprise Firewall 6.5.2 and 7.0, Vel...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Symantec firewall appliance vulnerability that can let a remote attacker crash affected services. The documented impact is denial of service, not data theft or firewall bypass. Business urgency depends on whether these legacy products are still deployed and reachable. Exposure is most likely in legacy environments still running the listed Symantec firewall or gateway versions. Risk is higher where the RealAudio Proxy or statistics service is reachable from untrusted networks. Treat as a legacy exposure cleanup item unless affected appliances remain internet-facing or operationally critical. If present, prioritize isolation, replacement, or vendor-supported remediation because firewall service crashes can disrupt availability. Mitigation focus: Check Symantec advisory for vendor-confirmed fixes or configuration guidance.; Inventory and retire unsupported affected Symantec firewall appliances where possible.; Restrict untrusted network access to RealAudio Proxy and statistics services..
