OVERVIEW

        Avaya has released four (4) security bulletins correcting multiple
        vulnerabilities in multiple products. [1,2,3,4]


IMPACT

	Two of the vulnerabilities could allow a local or remote user to
	cause a Denial of Service, [1,2] These Denial of Service
	vulnerabilities relate to the "Avaya IP Softphone" and "Avaya One-X
	Desktop Edition" products.

	A third vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to execute
	arbitrary code using the Web Management Interface of Avaya
	Communication Manager 3.1.x, 4.0.x and 5.0. [3]

	The fourth vulnerability allows attackers to obtain information
	about various files on the system. This vulnerability relates to
	Avaya Communication Manager CM3.1.x, CM4.0.3 and CM5.x. [4]


MITIGATION

	Solutions for the first two and the fourth vulnerability are
	pending and Avaya recommends restricting network access [1,2,4]

	For the vulnerability in Avaya Communication Manager 3.1.x, 4.0.x
	and 5.0, Avaya recommends updating:

	 - For CM 3.1.x upgrade to CM 3.1.4 SP2 or later.
