Security Bulletin
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 SPSS
Modeler.
Vulnerability Details
CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3566
DESCRIPTION: Product 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
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/97013 for the
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 SPSS Modeler 14.2
IBM SPSS Modeler 15.0
IBM SPSS Modeler 16.0
Remediation/Fixes
For SPSS Modeler 16.0 FP1, apply SPSS Modeler 16.0 Fix Pack 1 Interim Fix 019[1]
Workarounds and Mitigations
These steps apply to IBM SPSS Modeler Server only when SSL has been enabled.
IBM SPSS Modeler 14 and 15
On server environment, upgrade the OpenSSL installation being used - see SSL
3.0 Fallback protection section in the document here[2].
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. You should verify disabling SSLv3 does not cause any compatibility
issues.
Important note
IBM strongly suggests that all System z customers be subscribed to the System
z Security Portal to receive the latest critical System z security and
integrity service. If you are not subscribed, see the instructions on the
System z Security web site[3]. Security and integrity APARs and associated fixes
will be posted to this portal. IBM suggests reviewing the CVSS scores and
applying all security or integrity fixes as soon as possible to minimize any
potential risk.
