Some Avaya system products are delivered with an Operating System from Sun Microsystems. Actions to be taken on these products are described below.
| Product: | Affected Version(s): | Risk Level: | Actions: |
|---|---|---|---|
| Avaya CMS | R12, R13/R13.1, R14/R14.1, R15 | Low | CMS systems are not setup by default for use of Kerberos, so the
issue could only affect a customer if they changed the default settings
to include Kerberos. Customers running R12, R13/R13.1 or R14/R14.1 should install patch 102998-33. Customers running R15 should install patch 138731-03. |
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 the patch can be installed.
Additional information may also be available via the Avaya support website and through your Avaya account representative. Please contact your Avaya product support representative, or dial 1-800-242-2121, with any questions.
