Recommended Actions:
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 modify 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 |
---|---|
CVE-2014-4216 CVE-2014-4219 CVE-2014-2490 CVE-2014-4223 CVE-2014-4262 CVE-2014-2483 CVE-2014-4209 CVE-2014-4218 CVE-2014-4221 CVE-2014-4252 CVE-2014-4266 CVE-2014-4227 CVE-2014-4247 CVE-2014-4265 CVE-2014-2483 CVE-2014-4220 CVE-2014-4208 CVE-2014-4268 |
The risk is rated None for all listed products because client deployment of Java is not used. |
CVE-2014-4264 CVE-2014-4244 CVE-2014-4263 |
These are rated a Medium risk for all other products because of the potential to obtain sensitive data used for secure communication. |
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 platform may be. Customers should determine on which operating system the product was installed and then follow that vendor's guidance.
Product: | Actions: |
---|---|
Secure Access Link Gateway | Depending on the Operating System provided by customers, the affected version of Java may be installed on the underlying Operating System supporting the Secure Access Link Gateway. |
