2. Avaya System Products using a Solaris Operating System with Adobe Flashplayer installed:

Product: Affected Version(s): Risk Level: Actions:
Avaya IR 4.0 Low IR does not use the Adobe Flash player for any functions and it's use is not supported. Avaya will not test any issues related to this alert since the software is not used by Avaya products.

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 products and the surrounding network from this potential vulnerability may be mitigated by ensuring these practices are implemented until such time as an Avaya provided product update or the recommended Avaya action is applied. Further restrictions as deemed necessary based on the customer's security policies may be required during this interim period, but customers should not modify the System Product operating system or application unless the change is approved by Avaya. Making changes that are not approved may void the Avaya product service contract.

Mitigating Factors:

When determining risk, Avaya takes into account many factors as outlined by Avaya's Security Vulnerability Classification Policy. The following table describes factors that mitigate the risk of specific vulnerabilities for affected Avaya products:

Vulnerability Mitigating Factors
CVE-2011-2130
CVE-2011-2134
CVE-2011-2135
CVE-2011-2136
CVE-2011-2137
CVE-2011-2138
CVE-2011-2139
CVE-2011-2140
CVE-2011-2414
CVE-2011-2415
CVE-2011-2416
CVE-2011-2417
CVE-2011-2425
Thses are a Low risk as Adobe Flashplayer is installed but not used or configured by default.
