Document information
Tivoli Federated Identity Manager
Software version:
6.0, 6.1, 6.1.1, 6.2, 6.2.1, 6.2.2
Operating system(s):
AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, Windows, z/OS
Reference #:

Modified date:

Abstract
The implementation of TLS in the IBM Java JDK may not check the TLS vector
length as set out in the Internet Engineering Task Force Request For Comments
(RFC) 5246. The fix enhances the checking for the vector length.
Content
VULNERABILITY DETAILS:
DESCRIPTION: The JDK's TLS implementation may not check the TLS vector length
as set out in the latest RFC 5246. This issue is exploitable on server
deployments that use JSSE.
Under certain conditions, IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager uses Java
Secure Socket Extensions (JSSE) to establish a Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
connection. The vulnerability could occur when the SSL connection is enabled.
The only solution is to upgrade the JDK.
The attack does not require local network access nor does it require
authentication, but some degree of specialized knowledge and techniques are
required. An exploit would not impact the confidentiality of information or
the integrity of data, but the availability of the system could be
compromised.
CVEID: CVE-2012-5081
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/79435 for the
current score CVSS
Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
AFFECTED PRODUCTS AND VERSIONS:
Tivoli Federated Identity Manager versions 6.0, 6.1.0, 6.1.1, 6.2.0, 6.2.1,
6.2.2 Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Business Gateway versions 6.1.1,
6.2.0, 6.2.1, 6.2.2
REMEDIATION: The remediation depends on the version of WebSphere you are
using. There are two alternatives.
Alternative 1) If you are using the eWAS bundled with Tivoli Federated
Identity Manager (this was only avaliable for FIM versions 6.1.1 or higher),
you will need to apply the patch for IBM Java 5 SR 15. This is available at
the following link: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24033932
Alternative 2) If you are using a separate WebSphere installation instead of
the eWAS bundled with Tivoli Federated Identity Manager, please see the
following advisory to determine how to patch your WebSphere version:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&context=SSEQTP&dc=D600&uid=swg21617227&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8
