Summary
DataPower appliances might be subject to side channel timing based attacks.
Vulnerability Details
CVE ID: CVE-2014-0852
DESCRIPTION:
DataPower appliances might be subject to side channel timing based attacks
resulting in the decryption of an SSL/TLS secured transaction. The attack can
only be performed if the attacker is on the same LAN segment as the DataPower
appliance. The attacker has to send several million requests to the DataPower
appliance and monitor the response times for each of these messages in order
to recover the PreMasterSecret used in the SSL/TLS communication.

Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)
Affected Products and Versions
Products: WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances.
Versions: All versions through 4.0.2.15, 5.0.0.17, 6.0.0.9, 6.0.1.5. Note that
versions 7.0.0.0 and higher are not affected by this vulnerability.
Hardware models: All platforms - 9004, 9005 and HS22 Blade. (9004 MTM -
9235-xxx; 9005 MTM - 7198 (1U) and 7199 (2U); HS22 - Integration Blade XI50B
Type 4195)
Note that DataPower Virtual edition is not affected. Remediation/Fixes
Fix for 9005 and HS22 platforms are available in versions 5.0.0.16, 6.0.0.8,
6.0.1.4. You can also upgrade to version 7.0.0.0 or higher as they are not
affected by this vulnerability.
Fix for 9004 platform is available in versions 5.0.0.16 and 6.0.0.8. Note that
due to the hardware limitations of the 9004 platform (which has reached
end-of-service), the fix might not completely prevent DataPower against timing
based attacks, as there might still be a visible timing latency on the
responses on 9004 platforms.
Refer to APAR IT01111 for download links. Customers using DataPower v4.0.2 on
extended support, contact customer service. Workarounds and Mitigations
