Summary
SSLv3 contains a vulnerability that has been referred to as the Padding Oracle
On Downgraded Legacy Encryption (POODLE) attack. SSLv3 is enabled in IBM
InfoSphere Optim Performance Manager.
Vulnerability Details
CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3566
DESCRIPTION: IBM InfoSphere Optim Performance Manager could allow a remote
attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a design error when using
the SSLv3 protocol. A remote user with the ability to conduct a
man-in-the-middle attack could exploit this vulnerability via a POODLE
(Padding Oracle On Downgraded Legacy Encryption) attack to decrypt SSL
sessions and access the plaintext of encrypted connections.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3

current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)
Affected Products and Versions
IBM Optim Performance Manager for DB2 on Linux, UNIX, and Windows version
4.1.0.1 through 4.1.1
IBM InfoSphere Optim Performance Manager for DB2 on Linux, UNIX, and Windows
version 5.1 through 5.3.1
Remediation/Fixes
None
IBM recommends that you review your entire environment to identify areas that
enable the SSLv3 protocol and take appropriate mitigation and remediation
actions. The most immediate mitigation action that can be taken is disabling
SSLv3.
Workarounds and Mitigations
IBM InfoSphere Optim Performance Manager (OPM) relies on IBM WebSphere
Application Server (WAS) to manage the SSL protocol used for secure network
connections. Older OPM versions (4.1.0.1 through 5.1.1) use WAS Smash, newer
OPM versions (since 5.1.1.1) use WAS Liberty Profile.
Please refer to the Workarounds and Mitigations section in this Security
Bulletin: Vulnerability in SSLv3 affects IBM WebSphere Application Server
(CVE-2014-3566). The following steps outline how to apply these mitigations to
OPM 5.1.1.1 through 5.3.1.
Edit the SSLConfig.xml file to specify the default SSL configuration to be
used by IBM InfoSphere Optim Performance Manager. The SSLConfig.xml file can
be found in this location under the IBM InfoSphere Optim Performance Manager
installation directory:
wlp/usr/servers/dsweb/SSLConfig.xml
Before making any changes the contents of the SSLConfig.xml file should look
like this:
<server>
<keyStore id="defaultKeyStore" password="password"/>
</server>
A 'ssl' element can be added to specify the minimal level of security for the
SSL protocol. Setting the 'sslProtocol' attribute to â€ÂTLS†ensures that SSLv3
will no longer be used.
After making these changes, the contents of the SSLConfig.xml file may look
like this:
<server>
<ssl id="defaultSSLConfig"
keyStoreRef="defaultKeyStore"
sslProtocol="TLS" />
<keyStore id="defaultKeyStore" password="password"/>
</server>
If an 'ssl' element already exists, ensure that it includes the attribute
sslProtocol="TLS". There is no need to modify the 'keyStore' entry, if you have
customized it, for example to point to your own key store location, you can
retain the entry as is. It is not required to restart the web console server
after this update.
