A new Sun Alert Notification from Sun Microsystems has been issued and is described below. Additional information about this issue may be found on the sunsolve.sun.com website, although a maintenance contract with Sun may be required to view the information.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CVE-2009-3876 and CVE-2009-3877 to these issues.
Some Avaya system products are delivered with an Operating System from Sun Microsystems. Actions to be taken on these products are described below.
| Product: | Affected Version(s): | Risk Level: | Actions: |
|---|---|---|---|
| Avaya CMS | All | Low | CMS has the affected packages installed, but they are not used or supported for CMS functionality. Therefore, no patch will be tested or approved for installation. |
| Avaya IR | All | Low | IR has the affected packages installed, but they are not used or supported for IR functionality. Therefore, no patch will be tested or approved for installation. |
Recommended Actions:
Avaya strongly recommends that customers follow
networking and security best practices by implementing
firewalls, ACLs, physical security or other appropriate
access restrictions. Though Avaya believes such
restrictions should always be in place; risk to Avaya's
product and the surrounding network from this potential
vulnerability may be mitigated by ensuring these
practices are implemented until such time as a product
update is available. Further restrictions as deemed
necessary based on the customer's security policies
may be required during this interim period.
Additional information may also be available via the Avaya support website and through your Avaya account representative. Please contact your Avaya product support representative, or dial 1-800-242-2121, with any questions.
