Oracle Solaris Critical Update CVE-2011-0419

Original Release Date: August 20, 2012
Last Revised: August 20, 2012
Number: ASA-2012-332
Risk Level: High
Advisory Version: 1.0
Advisory Status: Interim

1. Overview:

New Critical Patch Updates or Security Alerts have been issued by Oracle on 
Oracle's Critical Patch Updates and Security Alerts website. Specific updates 
or alerts pertaining to this advisory are described below. The Oracle Advisory 
covering content outlined in this Avaya Security Advisory may be found in 
Oracle's Critical Patch Update Advisory - July 2012 and contains the following 
security issues.

Vulnerability in the Solaris component of Oracle Sun Products Suite 
(subcomponent: Library/libc). Supported versions that are affected are 9 and 
10. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows successful unauthenticated 
network attacks via TCP/IP. Successful attack of this vulnerability can result 
in unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of 
Solaris. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has 
assigned the name CVE-2011-0419 to this issue.

2. Avaya System Products using a Solaris Operating System:

Some Avaya system products are delivered with a Solaris Operating System. 
Actions to be taken on these products are described below.

Product:    Affected Version(s):  Risk Level:	Actions:
Avaya CMS   R15, R16, R16.1, 	  High		For CMS R15, upgrade to 
	    R16.2, R16.3	  		R15auxab.m, R15ab.m or later.
						For CMS R16.x, upgrade to 
						R16.3eg.b or later.
Avaya IR    4.x			  High		This issue will be addressed 
						in accordance with section 
						five of Avaya's Product 
						Security Vulnerability 
						Response Policy

Recommended Actions:
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 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 customers should not modify the System Product operating system or 
application unless the change is approved by Avaya. Making changes that are 
not approved may void the Avaya product service contract.

Mitigating Factors:

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-2011-0419	This is a high risk due to the potential for an 
		unauthenticated Denial of Service.

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.
