The Avaya Modular Messaging Message Storage Server provides convenient access to voice, e-mail, and fax messages from phones or computers, so employees can collaborate to make faster, better decisions, and improve customer service.
A flaw was discovered in the Avaya Message Storage Server (MSS) POP3 service. This flaw could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via specially crafted packets. Although Avaya is not aware of active attacks that exploit this flaw, customers are recommended to apply patch number A1312pt+p to resolve this issue.
This flaw only affects systems with the POP3 service enabled. The POP3 service is disabled by default, in all versions of MSS.
