General Support Issues

Abstract
Previous releases of IBM Rational Policy Tester are affected by multiple
vulnerabilities reported in 3rd party components bundled with the product as
well as in proprietary IBM code. These vulnerabilities include Java components,
weak cipher suites, invalid certificate warnings and URL spoofing.
Content
VULNERABILITY DETAILS:
CVE ID:
CVE-2013-0531
DESCRIPTION:
The Policy Tester server supports SSL cipher suites that use weak encryption
algorithms. An attacker may therefore be able to decrypt the secure
communication between the client and the server, or successfully execute a
"man-in-the-middle" attack on the client, enabling them to view sensitive
information and perform actions on behalf of the client.
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 availability of the system, but the integrity of the data could be
compromised.
CVSS:
CVSS Base Score: 5.0
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/84707 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)
AFFECTED PLATFORMS:
Running on Microsoft Windows:
Versions 5.6 through 8.5 of Rational Policy Tester
REMEDIATION:
The recommended solution is to apply the fix for each named product as soon
as practical. Please see below for information about the fixes available.
Vendor Fix(es):
For version 5.6 to 8.5 of Policy Tester
Upgrade to version 8.5.0.5
If you are unable to upgrade, contact IBM Technical Support.
Workaround(s):
Not applicable; upgrade to version 8.5.0.5 for Policy Tester
Mitigation(s):
None
- ------
CVE ID:
CVE-2013-0440
DESCRIPTION:
Unspecified vulnerability in IBM Java Runtime Environment may allow remote
attackers to affect availability via vectors related to JSSE.
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.

CVE ID:
CVE-2013-4062
DESCRIPTION:
Policy Tester allows connections to a Jazz Team Server with untrusted SSL
certificate. This may allow an attacker to successfully execute a
"man-in-the-middle" attack on the client
The attack requires local network access, does not require authentication, but
a high degree of specialized knowledge and techniques are required. An
exploit would impact the confidentiality of information, the integrity of
data and the availability of the system could be compromised.

CVSS Vector: (AV:L/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P)
AFFECTED PLATFORMS:
Running on Microsoft Windows:
Version 8.5 of Rational Policy Tester
REMEDIATION:
The recommended solution is to apply the fix for each named product as soon as
practical. Please see below for information about the fixes available.
Vendor Fix(es):
For version 8.5 of Policy Tester
Upgrade to version 8.5.0.5
If you are unable to upgrade, contact IBM Technical Support.
Once the upgrade has been completed, add the following entry into the
asc.properties file in the Policy Tester install folder (default directory -
C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\AppScan Enterprise\JazzTeamServer\server\conf\asc):
allow.invalid.ssl=false
Once this has been completed, restart the ‘IBM Security AppScan Enterprise
Server – Tomcat’ service.
If you are using your own certificate, makes sure that you add it the IBM
certificate trust store so that it will be accepted successfully.
Workaround(s):
Not applicable; upgrade to version 8.5.0.5 for Policy Tester
Mitigation(s):
None
- ------
CVE ID:
CVE-2013-4061
DESCRIPTION:
Unauthorized users have the ability able to update allowed hosts used for
authentication. This can be used to facilitate spoofing through URL
redirection.
The attack does not require local network access but does require single
authentication. A high degree of specialized knowledge and techniques are
required to exploit this issue. An exploit would not impact the availability
of the system or the integrity of data, but the confidentiality of
information could be compromised.
