CVE-2015-7547 1

[Hunnicut]

I was wondering if anyone has seen anything regarding this that Red Hat and Google just put out. Google Online Security Linkhas a write up on it. My reason for posting is to find out if this is something that the Avaya people know about and is there a patch or can we just run the patch they offer? My guess is no we can but I was hoping someone here might be of more information on it.

Thanks,

have not heard anything about it but Avaya doesn't publish any security warnings until they have a fix or workaround. They don't want to scare off customers.

The Red Hat Security Advisory notice on this only came out yesterday! Even the best Avaya engineer might mutter "give us a chance"
