Summary

There are multiple vulnerabilities in IBM SDK Java Technology Edition that is
shipped with IBM WebSphere Application Server. This also includes a fix for 
the Padding Oracle On Downgraded Legacy Encryption (POODLE) SSLv3 
vulnerability (CVE-2014-3566). These issues were disclosed as part of the IBM
Java SDK updates in October 2014.

Vulnerability Details

The following advisories are included in the IBM SDK Java Technology Edition 
and WebSphere Application Server may be vulnerable to them. Interim fixes for
HP Platforms will be delivered in 1Q2015.

CVEID: CVE-2014-6512

DESCRIPTION: An unspecified vulnerability related to the Libraries component 
has no confidentiality impact, partial integrity impact, and no availability 
impact.

CVSS Base Score: 4.3

CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/97147 for the 
current score

CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined

CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2014-6457

DESCRIPTION: An unspecified vulnerability related to the JSSE component has 
partial confidentiality impact, partial integrity impact, and no availability
impact.

CVSS Base Score: 4

CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/97148 for the 
current score

CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined

CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2014-6558

DESCRIPTION: An unspecified vulnerability related to the Security component 
has no confidentiality impact, partial integrity impact, and no availability 
impact.

CVSS Base Score: 2.6

CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/97151 for the 
current score

CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined

CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)

CVEID: 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. The IBM SDK for Java has changed the default to eliminate the 
POODLE vulnerability. There is a new system property 
com.ibm.jsse2.disableSSLv3 It is defaulted to true so that it will not use 
SSLv3. If you want to take the risk you may turn SSLv3 back on with the system
property: com.ibm.jsse2.disableSSLv3=false

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)

Workarounds and Mitigations

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.
