DESCRIPTION:
Urmas Kahar and Tarmo Kaljumae have reported a security issue in
Avaya Wireless Access Points products, which can be exploited by
malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.

The problem is caused due to the presence of a static WEP key set to
"12345". This can be exploited to bypass the 802.1x authentication
process.

Successful exploitation allows access to network resources.

The security issue affects the following products:

• Avaya Wireless Access Points AP-3, AP-4, AP-5, and AP-6 (All
  versions after 2.5 to 2.5.4)
• Avaya Wireless Access Points AP-7 and AP-8 (All versions after 2.5
  and prior to 3.1)

SOLUTION:

Apply Software Update 2.5.5 for AP3.
