2. Avaya System Products running Solaris 10 and using a GNOME PDF Reader:

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 IR 3.0 including SP1 thru SP7
4.0 including 4.0 SP1 thru SP4
Low For IR 3.0 install SP8 or later.
For IR 4.0 install SP5 or later.

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 can be installed. Further restrictions as deemed necessary based on the customer's security policies may be required during this interim period.
