33.7 OS Security Patches (on SC boards)
The Mediant 8000 software includes the latest relevant Operating System (OS)
security patches released by 3
rd
party vendors (e.g.Linux or Sun Microsystems).
These OS patches are automatically installed on the SC boards during the Mediant
8000 installation and/or Online Software Upgrade.
The OS security patches are updated at the following times:

In each major Mediant 8000 software release (e.g. in Version 6.6 GA)

In minor (maintenance) Mediant 8000 software releases – only if critical security
patches are available or if the update is explicitly requested by customer
The OS security patches are considered to be part of theMediant 8000 software and
therefore are typically deployed via the regular software installation and/or upgrade
procedures. Use of the matching versions of Mediant 8000 software and OS security
patches, ensures that the Mediant 8000 software operates in a well-defined
environment and eliminates the risk of incompatibility between the Mediant 8000
software and the underlying OS.
OS security patches may be upgraded via one of the following options:

By upgrading the Mediant 8000 software to a latest version via the regular Online
Software Upgrade procedure – this is the preferred option.

By installing OS security patches from a latest Mediant 8000 Installation Package
while maintaining the existing core Mediant 8000 software version.

By installing OS patches from a standalone “OS security patch bundle” provided
on customer request.
