2. Avaya System Products with Adobe Flash Player on a Sun Microsystems Operating System:

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, 4.0 Low Adobe Flash Player is installed on IR by default, but is not enabled, configured, or supported. The Sun patch will not be tested for use on IR. If Adobe Flash Player is used on IR, Avaya recommends using Sun's suggested workaround.

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 the suggested action is applied. Further restrictions as deemed necessary based on the customer's security policies may be required during this interim period.
