Avaya strongly recommends that customers follow 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's product and the surrounding network from
this potential vulnerability may be mitigated by ensuring these practices are
implemented until such time as the product upgrade can be applied. Further
restrictions as deemed necessary based on the customer's security policies may
be required during this interim period.
