Avaya Security Advisory overview

The Avaya Product Security Support Team (PSST) is responsible for the following:

Managing Avaya product vulnerabilities and threats
Maintaining information posted at http://support.avaya.com/security.
Performing security testing and auditing of the core products of Avaya
Resolving security-related field problems in support of Avaya Global Services
Managing the securityalerts@avaya.com mailbox.

As a result, the PSST actively monitors security issues related to the following topics:

Avaya products
Products that are incorporated into Avaya products
General data networking and telecommunications, as identified by government agencies

When a security vulnerability is identified, the PSST determines susceptibility of Avaya products to those vulnerabilities and assigns one of four risk levels:

High
Medium
Low

For more information see, How to interpret an Avaya Security Advisory. Depending on the category of risk, the PSST creates an Avaya Security Advisory to notify customers of the vulnerability.

Depending on the vulnerability and its risk level, the advisory might include a recommended mitigation action, a recommendation regarding the use of a third-party provided patch, a planned Avaya software patch or upgrade, and/or additional guidance regarding the vulnerability.
