CVE-2010-2824: Unspecified vulnerability on the Cisco Application Control Engine (ACE) Module with software A2(1.x) before...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a remote denial-of-service issue in legacy Cisco ACE modules. A crafted sequence of SSL packets can force the device to reload, potentially interrupting load-balancing or application delivery services behind Catalyst 6500 switches or 7600 routers. Exposure is limited to organizations still operating Cisco ACE Application Control Engine Modules on Catalyst 6500 or 7600 platforms with the listed vulnerable A2 software trains, especially where SSL services are reachable from untrusted networks. Prioritize remediation if ACE still supports production or internet-facing SSL traffic. The main risk is service outage, not data theft, but impact can be business-critical for dependent applications. Mitigation focus: Identify all Cisco ACE Module deployments and software versions.; Upgrade vulnerable A2 trains to the fixed versions named by Cisco or later.; Review Cisco advisory guidance for deployment-specific workarounds or caveats..
