OVERVIEW:

       Avaya have released three advisories relating to vulnerabilities in
       SSH [1], libICE [2], and Kerberos [3], and how they affect 
       their products.


IMPACT:

       Exploitation of these vulnerabilities may result in the exposure of
       sensitive information or a Denial of Service (DoS).


MITIGATION:

       "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." [1][2][3]
