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.
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-2012-0497 CVE-2012-0498 CVE-2012-0499 |
These are a low risk for all products because 2D sub-component objects or graphics is not used. |
|
CVE-2012-0500 CVE-2012-0502 CVE-2012-0503 CVE-2012-0505 CVE-2012-0506 |
These are a low risk for all products because untrusted Java Web Start applications and Java applets are not allowed to run on these systems. |
|
CVE-2011-3563 |
This is a low risk for all products because they do not utilize the Sound component. |
|
CVE-2012-0501 |
This is a low risk for products that allow processing of ZIP files because they can be downloaded only from trusted sources and modifying those sources requires administrative privileges. |
|
CVE-2012-0504 |
This is a low risk for all products because installation and updates to the Java Run Time environment on Avaya System is not supported and would constitute non-standard user interaction by an administrative user. |
|
CVE-2012-0508 |
This is a low risk for all products because the JavaFX component is not used. |
|
CVE-2011-3571 CVE-2011-5035 |
There is no risk to any Avaya products because Oracle Virtualization and Oracle GlassFish are not installed. |
