Determining the contents of a security update

About this task

For each security update for a third-party application or the Linux operating system, the referencing security advisory provides a link for quick access to the third-party website. Such websites typically provide a description of the security fixes that are included in the update.

For a security update for Messaging, the referencing security advisory provides a link to an Avaya Web page or FTP site that stores the update and a readme file that describes the security fixes in the update.

Avaya might package multiple third-party security updates together for installation on Messaging. Such packages are cumulative and include all security updates previously available and applicable to the product. In many cases, once the package is installed, the customer can use Messaging Manage Software Web page to locate the update file name.

The customer can then determine the contents with the following steps:

  2. Select Download Software.
  3. Select Messaging.
  4. Select the appropriate G.A. load of Messaging software.
  5. View the readme file for the security update package.
