This is "standard" practice. Any attack that commonly comes with
a spoofed source address has the "real" address replaced with
"0.0.0.0" as an indication that the source address is not to be
trusted as being the source of the attack.

The "real" address is in the additional information of the alert.

Personally, I do not agree with this functionality, but it is a
pretty standard practice within the ISS family of products and so
it needs to be understood.
