Avaya Security Advisory: Unauthorized SNMP Access possible to P330, P130,
and M770-ATM Cajun family
Advisory Original Release Date: July 8, 2002
Last Revised: July 22, 2002
Advisory Version: 1.1
Advisory Status:
Final
Overview:
Avaya MSNI technical support has
recently confirmed a previously unconfirmed security issue that could permit
SNMP access to Avaya P330, P130 and M770-ATM Cajun family products within a LAN
system. This security issue is contained within the LAN environment and a
security problem is not likely to be exploited via Internet access within
appropriately designed secured network environments. The identified LAN based security issue is inherent in previously
released software versions of the Avaya P330, P130 and M770-ATM switch products
(“Effected Products”).
The security issue as a point of
network equipment attack is relatively obscure and there have been no reports
of intrusion resulting from this issue; however, Avaya recommends a fix for all
customers who are concerned about security risks for their networks.
Impact:
Exploitation of this security issue
enables unauthorized administrative access to the device. It is expected that
firewalls should generally prevent access at the network perimeter from
untrusted sources, particularly SNMP communication, thereby already minimizing
the potential impact.
Recommended Actions:
Upgrade the Effected Products with
the provided updates as appearing in the following table:
