Mod_perl is a Perl interpreter for the Apache web server.
The mod_perl package was found to contain a Denial of Service (DoS) condition. If a remote attacker used a carefully crafted URL, it's possible that a resource consumption issue could arise, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS). The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2007-1349 to this issue.
The Risk Level for all Avaya System products have been marked as Low as mod_perl is installed but not actively in use by these products. In order for someone to take advantage of these issues, they would already have to have local access to the system to change the configuration.
More information about these vulnerabilities can be found in the security advisories issued by RedHat Linux:
| Product: | Affected Version(s): | Risk Level: | Actions: |
|---|---|---|---|
| Avaya Communication Manager | CM 2.x, 3.0 | Low | Upgrade to CM 3.1 or later. |
| Avaya Intuity LX | IALX 1.1, 2.0, 2.0SP1 | Low | Upgrade to IALX 2.0 SP2 or later. |

Recommended Actions:
For all system products which use
vulnerable
versions of mod_perl, Avaya recommends that customers restrict local and
network access to the server. This restriction should be enforced
through the
use of physical security, firewalls, ACLs, VPNs, and other
generally-accepted
networking practices until such time as an update becomes available and
can be
installed.
Avaya software-only products operate on general-purpose operating systems. Occasionally vulnerabilities may be discovered in the underlying operating system or applications that come with the operating system. These vulnerabilities often do not impact the software-only product directly but may threaten the integrity of the underlying platform.
In the case of this advisory Avaya software-only products are not affected by the vulnerability directly but the underlying Linux platform may be. Customers should determine on which Linux operating system the product was installed and then follow that vendor's guidance.
| Product: | Actions: |
|---|---|
| CVLAN | Depending on the Operating System provided by customers, the affected package may be installed on the underlying Operating System supporting the CVLAN application. The CVLAN application does not require the software described in this advisory. |
| Avaya Integrated Management Suite (IMS) | Depending on the Operating System provided by customers, the affected package may be installed on the underlying Operating System supporting the IMS application. The IMS application does not require the software described in this advisory. |
Recommended Actions:
In the event that the affected package
is
installed, Avaya recommends that customers follow recommended actions
supplied
by RedHat Linux.
