Avaya IP Office one-X Portal is a server application that allows IP Office users to control their phone and various telephony settings through a web browser.
Vulnerabilities exist in IP Office one-X Portal which could potentially allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.
Avaya would like to thank HP's Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) for responsibly providing this vulnerability reported by Andrea Micalizzi aka rgod. ZDI has disclosed this vulnerability under the name ZDI-14-056. A listing of disclosed vulnerabilities by ZDI can be found on their Published Advisories page.
| Product: | Affected Version(s): | Risk Level: | Actions: |
|---|---|---|---|
| Avaya IP Office | 8.x, 9.0 including SP1 | High | Upgrade to 9.0 SP2 or later. |
Recommended Actions for System Products:
Avaya strongly recommends
following networking and security best practices by implementing firewalls,
ACLs, physical security or other appropriate access restrictions. Though Avaya
believes such restrictions should always be in place, risk to Avaya products
and the surrounding network from this potential vulnerability may be mitigated
by ensuring these practices are implemented until such time as an Avaya
provided product update or the recommended Avaya action is applied. Further
restrictions as deemed necessary based on the customer's security policies may
be required during this interim period, but the System Product operating system
or application should not be modified unless the change is approved by Avaya.
Making changes that are not approved may void the Avaya product service contract.
When determining risk, Avaya takes into account many factors as outlined by Avaya's Security Vulnerability Classification Policy. The following table describes factors that mitigate the risk of specific vulnerabilities for affected Avaya products:
| Vulnerability | Mitigating Factors |
|---|---|
| ZDI-CAN-1688 | This is a Medium risk due to the potential for execution of arbitrary code loaded under the context of a low privileged process. |
