2. Avaya System Products using a Sun Microsystems Operating System:

Avaya system products include an Operating System with the product when it is delivered. Avaya Call Management System (CMS) and Avaya Interactive Response (IR) are both shipped with an operating system from Sun Microsystems. Actions to be taken on those products are described below.

Product: Affected Version(s): Risk Level: Actions:
Avaya CMS R12, R13/R13.1, R14 Low The suggested Sun workaround is implemented on CMS systems by default.

See recommended actions below. This issue will be addressed in accordance with Avaya's Product Security Vulnerability Response Policy
Avaya IR 2.0 on Solaris 10, 3.0 Low On Solaris 10, the RENDER extension option is disabled on IR by default. If a customer has enabled the RENDER extension option, they may use the reported workaround to mitigate this issue. Since this is an unsupported configuration, Avaya will not be certifying the reported patches for use with IR.

Recommended Actions:
For all vulnerable system products, 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.
